title: POST request failing silently
body: <p>I'm trying to send a POST request using the requests module for Python. However, when I send the POST request, I receive the page of the form; the redirect is ignored.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, the page is <a href="http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infocour/CIR/SA/under.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infocour/CIR/SA/under.html</a>, and I'm running the following (I isolated the problem to these lines of code):</p>
  
  <pre><code>from requests import post
  
  param = {"sess" : '1151',
           "subject" : 'CS',
           "cournum" : 136,
           "level" : 'under'}
  
  req = post("http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infocour/CIR/SA/under.html", 
         data=param)
  
  print req.text
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help solving this would be greatly appreciated.</p>
