HTTP 1.1 explicitely forbids HTTP compatible clients to
redirect a POST request without explicit interaction
with the user.

Current browsers do not support a redirected POST at all.

Thus, you proably do not want to use "redirect".

Instead, you could use "urllib2" (maybe "ZPublisher.Client")
to send your "POST" and return back the result to your client.
Your application behaves in this case as a proxy.

I see no chance for you.

Why do you need a redirect? Why can you not behave as a proxy?
