django test client gets 404, but browser works

I am able to reach a local address through my web browser (http://ift.tt/1CPvmj9) to see the Solr Admin (search webapp).

However, through the Django (1.7) test client I get:

>>> from django.test import Client  
>>> c = Client()  
>>> response = c.get('http://ift.tt/1CPvmj9')  
>>> response.status_code  
404

Why can't Django connect to the same address(es) as my browser?
