Ah, spoke too soon.
It was handling redirects and https, but not always redirects
and https and POST.  But if I simply reconfigure the script to
hit the https: addresses from the beginning (meaning the server
doesn't have to send any redirects at all), everything works
fine.  Dunno why I didn't try that at first.  (In hindsight,
dunno why I didn't do that years ago.)
