 Patch for mythdownloadmanager for improved POST redirect compatibility

 Per the specs, and de-facto implementations, redirects for POSTs
 are (for status codes 301, 302, and 303) turned into GETs (302 was
 ambiguous in the original spec, and all (well, almost all) browsers turned
 a 302 into a GET, so later an explicit 303 was defined that defined that
 redirected POSTs should be implemented as GETs, but the 302 behavior was
 codified).  A 307 says to rePOST, but it also requires asking the
 submitter to re-verify, so the code will not (automatically) redirect.

 Note that the existing code which attempted to redirect a POST to a POST
 was somewhat flawed (not only by spec), but because the post data was no
 longer available to rePOST with.
