That’s clear as mud :)  If I read correctly, the text means that the user agent is free to follow redirects without asking the user if the request is GET or HEAD, and needs to ask the user if the request is e.g. POST.  That’s in line with what Firefox does when you refresh after a POST: It asks you to confirm if you want the data to be re-sent.  POST not being idempotent explains the need for this precaution.

So, I think a library like urllib should not prevent people from doing something that is allowed.  +1 to a new param to transfer the body when following a redirect under a POST.
