Summary: urllib2 redirection fix

Initial Comment:
When redirecting to a new URL, new request is missing
attached data (e.g. when redirecting POST or PUT). Thus
redirected request will be different than original one. 

The patch fixes this problem.


My environment is:
OS: WindowsXP, 
Python version: ActivePython 2.4.2 Build 10
(ActiveState Corp.) based on Python 2.4.2 (#67, Jan 17
2006, 15:36:03) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Jim's right that there's no bug here.

Also, it already is optional if you're prepared to subclass
or reimplement HTTPRedirectHandler.  Method redirect_request
is documented and can do whatever you like.

This issue was discussed at length here:

Could somebody close this patch?

With a POST (and presumably a PUT), this is required by the 
standard.  I won't argue that it is sensible (why would you 
send the data to someone whose redirects you don't trust), 
but it is the standard.

Making this a settable option would probably be OK, though.
