Description
In the documentation, it says the "AsyncClient has the same methods and signatures as the synchronous (normal) test client," except, "The follow parameter is not supported."
I searched Github and the tickets here, but couldn't find an explanation for this or a ticket discussing it. Is adding support for redirects something that's planned so that async tests of views that do redirects are possible?
Thanks as always for everything.

Adding support for follow would required implementing an async version of _handle_redirects(). I'm not sure if it's possible.
I can't immediately see why not, so I'd say let's let someone have a pop at it. (The core loop fetching the chain of responses should work equivalently AFAICS, at a quick glance.)
