HTTP redirects: MUST follow?

  Hi,

  I've seen the last editor draft has added a few words about
redirects for http-request:

    7.1.10.3.1 Redirects

    The p:http-request step must follow redirect requests (3xx
    status codes) if they are returned by the server.

  But from the top of my head, I think the HTTP spec carefully
use MUST, SHOULD, MUST NOT, etc. to qualify whether a client
should follow or not a redirect.  I think for instance that a
client cannot follow a redirect in response to a POST or a PUT,
if I am right.

  Clearly, having a uniform redirect-following policy on every
implementations would be nice, but I wonder if the above sentence
is really helpful for that purpose.

  Regards,
