+If you use non-fully qualified urls in your test scripts (i.e. anything without
+a host, such as C<< ->get_ok( "/foo") >> ) and your app redirects to an
+external URL, expect to be bitten once you come back to your application's urls
+(it will try to request them on the remote server.) This is due to a limitation
+in WWW::Mechanize.
+
+One workaround for this is that if you are expecting to redirect to an external
+site, clone the TWMC obeject and use the cloned object for the external
+redirect.
