I'm using the python requests library to get and post http content. I have no problem using the get function but my post function seems to fail or not do anything at all. From my understanding the requests library the POST function automatically encodes the data you send but I'm not sure if that's actually happening

code:

```
data = 'hash='+hash+'&confirm=Continue+as+Free+User'   
r = requests.post(url,data)
html = r.text

```

by checking the "value" of html I can tell that the return response is that of the url without the POST.
