Hey Chris,
My version of UserAgent.pm has redirect_ok returning a 0
if the method is POST, do you know why this is in the default
behavior? I've been having trouble getting https to work with multiple
redirects and this may relate to that, just wondering why it defaults
to saying you cannot redirect a POST method.
Thanks,
Tony
