+    Allow additional methods (e.g. PUT) and data forwarding in redirects.
+
+    Use of this class constitute a user's explicit agreement to the
+    redirect responses the Prometheus client will receive when using it.
+    You should only use this class if you control or otherwise trust the
+    redirect behavior involved and are certain it is safe to full transfer
+    the original request (method and data) to the redirected URL. For
+    example, if you know there is a cosmetic URL redirect in front of a
+    local deployment of a Prometheus server, and all redirects are safe,
+    this is the class to use to handle redirects in that case.
+
+    The standard HTTPRedirectHandler does not forward request data nor
+    does it allow redirected PUT requests (which Prometheus uses for some
+    operations, for example `push_to_gateway`) because these cannot
+    generically guarantee no violations of HTTP RFC 2616 requirements for
+    the user to explicitly confirm redirects that could have unexpected
+    side effects (such as rendering a PUT request non-idempotent or
