I'm seriously unsure where such error may be since i've been tracing http request\responses through in-browser network tools. i'm going to repeat capturing whats on the wire instead and if i still can't find the same results i'll setup a public test case which everyone can use. > > Pick your browser of choice and click on this link for a GET test: > > http://daniel.haxx.se/test/redir.cgi > > And you can POST to the same URL by using this form: > > http://daniel.haxx.se/test/redir.html > > (It returns a 302 redirect with 282 bytes of contetns.
