connecting to dashboard through python requests.session won't authorize without region specified in fields

[andrewsben]

When connecting through python requests.session to dashboard I cannot get authorized without a region specified. I expected for the default region to be used if nothing is specified.

Step:

create session and auth variable (csrfmiddlewaretoken, method, username, password)
session.post the auth variables to / - session.post(DASH_URL + '/', data=auth)
session.get(DASH_URL + '/nova')
session's content is then the login page from redirect

Expected:

Without a region specified that it would use the default

Additional information:

If I add region with a value of 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0' to the auth dict doing a requests.session.get(DASH_URL + '/whatever') will pull back information as I expect.

    Allow login post without region in POST data.

    Handles an edge case where users trying to log in to the dashboard
    programmatically may not wish to specify the region endpoint in the
    POST data. Fixes bug 930363.
