thanks for the additional info.

This paragraph:

"The 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code indicates that the target
 resource resides temporarily under a different URI and the user agent
 MUST NOT change the request method if it performs an automatic
 redirection to that URI.  Since the redirection can change over time,
 the client ought to continue using the original effective request URI
 for future requests."

seems to confirm that the patch from Gijs, that keeps the original
method, is correct.

I am going to clean it up and if nobody complains in a few hours, I will
push it.
