Testing a class based Django view which returns a JsonReponse

What is the proper way to test a class based Django view which returns a JsonResponse type. For example, the beginning of my class looks like this:

class MyView(LoginRequiredMixin, View):

    def get(self, request):

        return JsonResponse({
            "status": 200,
            "message": "message to return."
        })

I have similar 'post' and 'delete' functions. The url /myview is connected to this view. When I attempt something like this:

c = Client()
response = c.get('/myview')

'response' is a HttpResponsePermanentRedirect type, and I am unsure how the JSON data can be obtained from that.

EDIT -- I login in the setup of the test

I think you just need to add the trailing slash to your URL

c.get('/myview/')

if APPEND_SLASH is turned on (and I think Django turns it on by default), any request without the trailing slash will generate a redirect to a URL with the trailing slash
