Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

The attached patch implements support for redirecting one POST request to another in KIO. Unless implicitly disabled currently the automatic redirection handler in KIO always redirects any POST requests to a GET.

Note this patch also changes the original KIO::http_post implementation that accepted a QByteArray to simply store the data in a QBuffer and call the newer implementation that uses a QIODevice. 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.
