Description

When testing a component that e.g. throws a RedirectToUrlException("http://foo/") WicketTester fails with a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in ServletWebRequest#getContextRelativeUrl. I'm aware that WT doesn't currently support this and needs setFollowRedirects(false) in this case, but there should be a more meaningful error message than this.

I'll attempt to distinguish local redirects from external ones and providing the external URL in a new assertExternalRedirectUrl method instead of having it crash and burn.
