Description:
------------
Hello again,

I'm writing a code to integrate google calendar api and I struggled to modify an Event using their API to finally realize that the problem came from the automatic redirect.

Reproduce code:
---------------
//This should work but doesn't

$this->oauth->fetch("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/private/full",$event,OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST,array("Content-Type"=>"application/json","GData-Version"=>"2"));

//The working fix

$this->oauth->disableRedirects();
				
				$this->oauth->fetch("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/private/full",$event,OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST,array("Content-Type"=>"application/json","GData-Version"=>"2"));
				
				$info = $this->oauth->getLastResponseInfo();
				
				if($info['http_code'] == 302){
					$this->oauth->fetch($info['redirect_url'],$event,OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST,array("Content-Type"=>"application/json","GData-Version"=>"2"));
				}

The same bug appears when using DELETE method.

I have had the same issue, and was going to submit a bug 
report.

I noticed that my POST submissions, when redirected, were 
being changed to GET methods when following the redirect.

After digging around for a long time, I found lines 1740-
1759 of OAuth.c in 1.1.0:
----------
if (soo->redirects >= OAUTH_MAX_REDIRS) {
   /*stuff*/
} else {
    ++soo->redirects;
    oauth_apply_url_redirect(&surl, soo-
>last_location_header);
    smart_str_0(&surl);
    final_http_method = OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_GET;
}
----------

I'm not completely familiar with C or this code base, but it 
appears to me that the main suspect is line 1758, where it 
is setting the method to GET. 

In the context of the function, this appears that any time a 
redirect is followed, it defaults to GET.

This is a problem for me since I have to use a workaround 
similar to what djpate posted.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.

Please try again on trunk
