it would be nice if $c->res->redirect returned a 303 appropriately if
$c->req->method eq 'POST'.
i have in the past trapped it in 'end' to fix up the $c->res->status
if == 302 and $c->req->method eq 'POST', but lately i just don't bother.

This is really good advice but I was looking at the response code RFC
today [1] for an unrelated matter and found the following:
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other
than
GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the
request
unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the
conditions under which the request was issued.
It then goes on to say:
Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not
allowed to
change the method on the redirected request. However, most existing
user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303 response,
performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless of the
original
request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have been added for
servers
that wish to make unambiguously clear which kind of reaction is
expected
of the client.
So, what do people do - do you send 303/307's "correctly" or just
default
to 302 behaviour ?
