If there is any redirection involved, the location will reflect the redirected URL, not the requested one. I think this is what was being said. Also, submitting bogus parameters to a server is somewhat anti-social, as it frustrates caching in two ways. Firstly, each unique parameter value combination is a separate resource. Secondly, abuse of GET mode forms in the past has resulted in HTTP servers being advised not to cache URLs containing ? characters unless given explicit indications of cachability.
