Quick tip for PERL users:<\/p>\n

LWP does not redirect on POST requests by default. If you are trying to POST to a page which replies with a redirect, e.g., authenticating with a webform or somesuch, you need to enable redirects via this line:<\/p>\n

push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, ‘POST’;<\/p>\n

You can also do this by hand, ala:<\/p>\n

$resp = $ua->post(…);
\nif ($resp->is_redirect) {
\n $resp = $ua->get($resp->header(“Location”));
\n}<\/p>\n
