Browsers rewrite 301 and 301 redirects for POST requests to GET. This is also specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231\#section-6.4.2 now.
Our current implementation forgets to pass the body to the redirect on POST anyway. So it will hang, since it's only passing the
content-length
, but not the body.I suggest to implement the browser's behavior as this is what most people would expect.
