Hi,
when a 301 reply in url-http.el is received, requests other than GET
and HEAD are also rewritten to a GET request to the new location. This
is nearly always not what the user of the library
intended. (i.e. posting data to a url results in a GET to the new url
and the posted data is lost) The authors of url-http.el are aware of
the issue as some comments in the file show, but i think their
solution is wrong. The current behaviour is even stated as wrong in
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2
. Some ideas whould be not to issue a new request but leave the 301 to
the user or to issue the SAME request again.
