Thank you! That's really useful.

Nice things. I've mod a little modification to make it working on redirects by adding third "if":

if ('profile' in request.GET or 'profilebin' in request.GET) and 'Location' in response:
    del response['Location']

And you actually need one "return response" at the and of method, not in each "if" block.
