How to make Python Requests follow a POST redirect?

Question

Using the following code, the server responds with a 301 redirect, but the client changes POST to GET, which is useless behavior because that GET endpoint does not exist. Using CURL -L -X POST works properly. This behavior is the same using python2 and python3 and on several versions of Raspbian.

>>> import requests
>>> url = "https://registry.micronets.in/mud/v1/register- 
device/DAWG/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg"
>>> response = requests.post(url)
>>> response
<Response [404]>

# Server Log: (Note - both endpoints, are on the same server using virtual hosts)
redirecting to: https://hotdawg.micronets.in/registry/devices/register- device/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg
POST /registry/v1/register-device/DAWG/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg 301 16.563 ms - 122
{
  "status": 404
}
GET /vendors//register-device/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg 404 0.604 ms - 14

# CURL version (succeeds)
curl -L -X POST "https://registry.micronets.in/mud/v1/register- 
device/DAWG/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg"
Device registered (insert): {
  "model": "AgoNDQcDDgg",
  "pubkey": "aabbccddeeffgg",
  "timestamp": "2019-12-27 15:44:14 UTC",
  "_id": "HBlQzXfBnoB3N4fN"
}

# Server Log: (from CURL)

POST /registry/v1/register-device/DAWG/AgoNDQcDDgg/aabbccddeeffgg 301 0.364 ms - 122

Answer 1

I'd rather accept a better answer, but otherwise I plan to work around the problem as follows:

response = requests.post(url, allow_redirects=False)
if response.status_code == 301:
    response = requests.post(response.headers['Location'])

or

response = requests.post(url, allow_redirects=False)
i=10
while i > 0 and response.status_code == 301:
    response = requests.post(response.headers['Location'], allow_redirects=False)
    i -= 1
