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. -- Giuseppe
