"2.6 Fetching resources":

"Note: The HTTP specification requires that 301, 302, and 307 redirects, when
applied to methods other than GET or HEAD, not be followed without user
confirmation."

This is misleading; this is a known and confirmed bug in RFC 2616. The
restriction is not on GET/HEAD, but on safe methods.
