A quick question to LWP designers: what was the motivation for making
the redirect_ok a method, instead of a property?
When a developer wants to make a single request using a different
behavior than the default, and s/he must subclass UserAgent. Isn't this
too overkill? I can think of a few situations where subclassing
UserAgent would be actually better.
Wouldn't it be so much simpler if one could do something like this:
$req = HTTP::Request->new('GET', 'http://www.some-host.com');
$req->redirect_ok = 0;
or
$req = HTTP::Request->new('POST',
'http://www.some-host.com/someform.php', [name1 => value1]);
$req->redirect_ok = 1;
