A manually constructed authentication URL didn’t match the actual endpoint
address, causing the Django backend to issue a 301 redirect to the correct URL.
This wasn’t a problem for regular users at first, but once a client integrating
through a virtual browser came on board, it became significant. The 301 redirect
was disrupting the virtual browser’s cookie/cache system, which in turn broke
the authentication flow.
This change aims to resolve the issue, although it’s not yet certain that
it will fully address their problem.
