I have patched httpbin[¹] to accept POST on status codes and I tested more. 

>>> import requests
>>> requests.__version__
'0.12.1'
>>> r = requests.post('http://localhost:5000/status/303')
>>> r.history
[<Response [303]>, <Response [302]>]
>>> r.history[1].url
u'http://localhost:5000/redirect/1'
>>> r.text
u'{\n  "url": "http://localhost:5000/get",\n  "headers": {\n    "Host": 
"localhost:5000",\n    "Accept-Encoding": "identity, deflate, compress, 
gzip",\n    "Accept": "*/*",\n    "User-Agent": "python-requests/0.12.1"\n  
},\n  "args": {},\n  "origin": "127.0.0.1"\n}'
>>> r.url
u'http://localhost:5000/get'

httpbin give this:
127.0.0.1 - - [2013-02-19 02:17:02] "POST /status/303 HTTP/1.1" 303 126 
0.001139
127.0.0.1 - - [2013-02-19 02:17:02] "GET /redirect/1 HTTP/1.1" 302 372 
0.000594
127.0.0.1 - - [2013-02-19 02:17:02] "GET /get HTTP/1.1" 200 362 0.000809

So it seems fine, but... this is not the complete story.

Using strict_mode make requests fail:

>>> r = requests.post('http://localhost:5000/status/303', 
config={'strict_mode': True})
>>> r.url
u'http://localhost:5000/redirect/1'
>>> r.text
u'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">\n<title>405 
Method Not Allowed</title>\n<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>\n<p>The method POST 
is not allowed for the requested URL.</p>\n'

N.B. POST to http://localhost:5000/redirect/1 is not allowed.

From httpbin:
127.0.0.1 - - [2013-02-19 02:39:21] "POST /status/303 HTTP/1.1" 303 126 
0.000511
127.0.0.1 - - [2013-02-19 02:39:21] "POST /redirect/1 HTTP/1.1" 405 328 
0.000639

The code involved is this (inside models.py):
    if r.status_code is codes.see_other:
        method = 'GET'
        data = None
        files = None
    else:
        method = self.method

When not using strict_mode it works because of this (again in models.py):

    if (r.status_code == 303) and self.method != 'HEAD':
        method = 'GET'
        data = None
        files = None

The bug affects also requests 0.12.1 so I'm rasing this again. Thanks to 
both, Paul and Jakub! I'm going to fix this now and then I will ask for a 
freeze exception.

@Paul: thanks for offering to sponsor me, but I will ask before to my 
regular sponsor.

Kind regards,
