Facing issue __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'connection_class'.

[NirmalVatsyayan]

I am configuring redis cache in django setting using format given in document for SSL connection.
rediss://[:password]@localhost:6379/0

But i am facing issue init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'connection_class'

When i see the traceback i find 'connection_class': <class 'redis.connection.SSLConnection'> value in kwargs in redis_cache/backends/base.py in create_client line number 182.

Kindly assist, setting up redis connection is the major thing in my project.

This is because parse_connection_kwargs in utils.py checks to see if the url.scheme is 'rediss' and then adds url_options['connection_class'] = SSLConnection. Instead, it needs to set add url_options['ssl'] = True

Why was this closed? This bug is still reproducible in master

@jar349 unfortunately simply changing the kwargs dictionary to use 'ssl' as the key, breaks the connection pool creation (which doesn't accept the ssl keyword)
