Description (last modified by Mariusz Felisiak)

Similar to the #28337, HTTP headers can be passed in the headers argument and should be preserved in assertRedirects().

I think the regression test here isn't quite right. It fails at b181cae2e3697b2e53b5b67ac67e59f3b05a6f0d (i.e. 67da22f0^) and stable/4.1.x too. 🤔

I'll provisionally accept anyhow, assuming you're correct about the regression.

Support for headers was added in 67da22f08e05018ea968fcacbac9ac37ea925d85, so it's a bug in the new feature. Previously, headers went to **extra and was not interpreted as HTTP headers.

After 67da22f08e05018ea968fcacbac9ac37ea925d85 headers={"redirect": "val"} should work the same as HTTP_REDIRECT="val" and is not in assertRedirects().

hey Mariusz Felisiak can you help me with reproducing the bug. Is it just writing test cases using assertRedirects and putting headers in the dictionary

This is an issue in assertRedirects(). I've already attached a regression test in the ticket description.

rajdesai24 thanks for your efforts, however, I will assign it to myself as the Django 4.2 feature freeze is on Monday (January, 16th).
