I have tried: In httpd.conf:
Redirect /one/ http://localhost/two/ Redirect /two/ http://localhost/three/ redirect /three/ http://www.google.com/ Then I made a POST request with LWP::UserAgent to /one: use LWP::UserAgent; print LWP::UserAgent->new->post('http://localhost/one/')->as_string; And the result was: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Connection: close Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 13:58:37 GMT Location: http://localhost/two/ Server: Apache/2.2.15 (Win32) mod_perl/2.0.4-dev Perl/v5.10.1 ... Exactly as you described. Then I made a POST request with WWW::Mechanize: use WWW::Mechanize; print WWW::Mechanize->new->post('http://localhost/one/')->as_string; And the result was: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 Connection: close Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 14:00:44 GMT Server: gws So it seems that LWP::UserAgent works similarly with mechanize and WWW::Mechanize similarly to urllib.

Out of frustration, I decided to give 'mechanize' a try. It came as an awesome surprise that mechanize implements the exact api of urllib2 - meaning all I had to do was a query-replace of urllib2 to mechanize, and lo-and-behold I got what I wanted! Which is to say, the behaviour of mechanize matches Perl's LWP::UserAgent as afar as handling of POST redirects go. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
