Subject: send_request in v0.42 breaks cookies, auth and other "implicit" headers
The move from _do_request to send_request seems bad to me, as the following features are now broken : * Redirects * Basic Authentification via $agent->credentials() * Cookies (maybe) I did a global search and replace in Mechanize.pm from send_request() to request(), and everything works "as designed", so this could be a fix.
This has been changed in 0.43, per your suggestion. Thanks.
