According to the HTTP/1.0 Internet Draft (March 8 1995) on page 30, it comments that it is possible for the server to respond to a PUT, POST or DELETE request with a 302 Redirect response, and that the user agent must not automatically redirect the request unless the user confirms. I am POSTing form contents (at a CERN 3.0 server) and receiving a redirect. Once the user has confirmed that it is OK to redirect, should I send the POST command and the form data to the new URL, or issue a GET? I had presumed that I send the POST. I ask this because when posting a form, I came across this redirection which I OK'ed, and when I attempted a POST at the new URL, I get back "500 This server not configured to handle POST". Now this is the same server which issued the redirection in response to the POST in the first place. Was I incorrect to reissue the POST at the new URL?
