Current versions of Lynx have it implemented it like that. They do not "fix your damn links" in the sense of editing source files, because that would be inapproriate or barred for a large percentage of the Lynx user base, but for the remainder a user's session the 301's Location will be substituted for the original RequestURI. That's why it seemed like a good idea to confirmed that this is really intended for a 301 on a POST.
