  (* todo:
    This response header can be used to trigger a client side redirection without reloading the whole page. Instead of changing the page<67>s location it will act like following a hx-boost link, creating a new history entry, issuing an ajax request to the value of the header and pushing the path into history.

    A sample response would be:
    HX-Location: /test
    Which would push the client to test as if the user had clicked on <a href="/test" hx-boost="true">

    If you want to redirect to a specific target on the page rather than the default of document.body, you can pass more details along with the event, by using JSON for the value of the header:
    HX-Location: {"path":"/test2", "target":"#testdiv"}
    Path is required and is url to load the response from. The rest of the data mirrors the ajax api context, which is:
    source - the source element of the request
    event - an event that <20>triggered<65> the request
    handler - a callback that will handle the response HTML
    target - the target to swap the response into
    swap - how the response will be swapped in relative to the target
    values - values to submit with the request
    headers - headers to submit with the request
