I quickly tested the patch using a basic html form and it seems it break http post operation (regardless of redirection).
I get back a "400 Bad Request" from the server and can see the following debug message:
"kio_http(17852)/kio (kioslave) KIO::SlaveBasePrivate::verifyState: special() did not call finished() or error()! Please fix the KIO slave."

As for these page
http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc/httpredirects/t307methods.html
http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc/httpredirects/t308methods.html
they can't be used for testing as they do make XHR requests with no body data.

I have updated the documentation for the original implementation to state as such and encourage developers to directly use the newer http_post method instead. Not sure if everyone will agree with my implementation but it makes it much easier to resend POST data on redirection.
