In &LWP::UserAgent::request cookies are cleared on redirect.

I see, Now I understand your point of view.  What are the RFC 2965
rules you want it to enforce? Is it this one:

|   When it makes an unverifiable transaction, a user agent MUST disable
|   all cookie processing (i.e., MUST NOT send cookies, and MUST NOT
|   accept any received cookies) if the transaction is to a third-party
|   host.
