Summary: http redirect does not pass 'post' data

Initial Comment:
A HTTP(S) redirect does not pass POST 'data'.

Currently:
If a redirect is required, a new Request is created
with a URL that the redirect response has provided.
This new Request has the original headers.

Required:
For the new Request the data too will be copied from
the original Request.

I believe the following one line change is required in
'urllib2.HTTPRedirectHandler.redirect_request':

<code>
return Request(url     = newurl,
               headers = req.headers,
               data    = req.data,
               ...
</code>

Environment: Linux
Python 2.5
