Old RSS redirect doesn't work with RSS readers #16

Description

@Terrance

If I request the RSS feed via the previous URL at https://blog.python.org/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss, I initially get served an nginx 301 redirect to https://blog.python.org/feeds/posts/default/?alt=rss (added trailing slash), where I'm then served:

<!doctype html><title>Redirecting to: /rss.xml</title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/rss.xml"><meta name="robots" content="noindex"><link rel="canonical" href="https://blog.python.org/rss.xml"><body>	<a href="/rss.xml">Redirecting from <code>/feeds/posts/default/</code> to <code>/rss.xml</code></a></body>

My RSS reader Tiny Tiny RSS complains that this just isn't a valid feed, and I imagine most RSS readers don't support following HTTP meta refresh redirects.
