<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/312> So now that we have allowed UAs to rewrite a 301 POST to GET (see <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/160>), the spec doesn't have a permanent redirect that always preserves the method. (We *do* have the equivalent for temporary redirects: 307). So...: 1) Is this a problem? 2) If yes, how can we fix it? 2a) Define a new code (in a separate spec)? 2b) Explain that a 307 can be made permanent by adding Cache-Control magic. My 17 cents: 2a) This might be hard to deploy, but maybe that's not a problem for those applications that want to use it. If we do that, it needs a separate spec (or it could go into Mark's new-status-codes thingy). 2b) This probably could be smuggled into HTTPbis, but in this case I'd *really* like to see us adding a concrete example. Best regards, Julian
