At https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/urls/#how-django-
processes-a-request, it says:
{{{
Django runs through each URL pattern, in order, and stops at the first one
that matches the requested URL.
}}}
it should mention here that it's matching against request.path_info, and
provide a link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/request-
response/ which explains how request.path differs from request.path_info.
In addition, the debug 404 page, where it says:
{{{
The current path ... didn't match any of these.
}}}
instead of "current path", it should say something like, "current path
(request.path_info)", which would give a hint about what to read to
understand why the current path isn't what's shown above, as the "Request
URL".
