Bug Description

POSTs issued from the bugwatch update script, depending on remote site config, may be redirected from http to https. When that happens, the request fails.

I believe this is being caused by the fact that we were POSTing to a page which then redirected: that bug tracker is actually HTTPS and the HTTP url just redirects to it. I've fixed it on the live database and I am adding a check for this so we get an explicit error message from the script.

A more elaborate fix would be to use Mark P.'s suggestion at http://www.diveintopython.org/http_web_services/redirects.html

This has never landed on RF 4429. pqm sent the success commit message but didn't commit it. Duplicating against a more recent bug with a better explanation of what happens
