POST 301 redirects don't respect "agent" property (when using Request library)

[jrasanen]

When POST returns 301, the following GET isn't using the same agent setting.

var options = {
    url: 'http://website/',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: headers,
    followAllRedirects: true,
    agent: new Socks5ClientHttpAgent({socksHost: '127.0.0.1', socksPort: 9050}),
    form: {
      ...
    }
}
// POST returns 301 /index.php
request.post(options, function (err, httpResponse, body) {...});

With this example POST goes through TOR but the following GET doesn't.

Hi, thanks for filing this. I think this looks like a bug with Request. If you try using a normal HTTP agent which you instantiate yourself do you get the same buggy behaviour?

Hi,

I filed an issue to Request too, haven't tried with normal HTTP agent yet.

Thanks for filing that. I've looked at the Request code and tracked down the issue. Keeping this open until it's resolved.

Upstream issue is request/request/issues/1304 for reference.
