   related: how about supporting redirects for all API requests in general?

   Rationale: I've just migrated a Tableau Server to a new domain and set up redirect from old domain to new to support user bookmarks, but this breaks scripts using server-client-python because a POST becomes a GET following an HTTP 301 redirect and they have very different meanings in REST API (and no I cannot use an HTTP 308 redirect because AWS, boo).
