Feature request: HTTPClient stands for using HTTP 1.1 so it should allow to follow POST requests.
More information:

The RFC document mentioned in code require client confirmation to follow request with method other than GET and HEAD, so I propose additional flag to force follow the redirection (or extension to existing one, by enum?).
I will try to implement it tonight myself.
