[LRUG] Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200> when using should_redirect_to

Tue Jul 27 10:02:29 PDT 2010

Hi all  (I replied off-list and Riccardo replied directly to me, but I
believe Riccardo's intention was to email the whole list, so I am
forwarding).

Riccardo, are you using Rails 2.3.6, .7, or .8?  Try it with 2.3.5.  (I've
stayed on 2.3.5 because I saw redirects not happening correctly in the newer
versions).

Matt
