=============================================

Though not very common, you can also forward to another controller internally
with the :method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\AbstractController::forward`
method. Instead of redirecting the user's browser, this makes an "internal"
sub-request and calls the defined controller. The ``forward()`` method returns
the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Response` object that is returned
with the ``forward()`` method provided by the
:class:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\AbstractController` class
(or :class:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\ControllerTrait` if
your controller doesn't extend from ``AbstractController``).

:class:`Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Response` object that is returned
