Please describe the feature requested.

Currently on a redirect we preserve all HTTP headers.  Looking at httplib2 
linked above, it deletes the "if-none-match", "if-modified-since", and 
"authorization" headers.  It also has functionality to retain the 
"authorization" header.  Should we do something similar?  Note that I am asking 
a question here, because I don't know what is considered the best practice here.
