I happen to be currently reading (in part of my free time!) HTTP Essentials by Stephen
Thomas.
Here is part of the explanation of a 302 found response from the book:
"An http 302 FOUND response indicates that the resource has temporarily moved to a new
location, and the client should reissue its request to a new URL. In practice, many
clients that receive a 302 found status will send a GET request to the new URL, even
if the original used another method. This behavior actually violates the HTTP
specifications, but it is so common that servers should take it into account."
Apparently the browser code is not conforming to http 1.1, since in http 1.1 303 See
Other and 307 Temporary Redirect status codes were introduced to address this problem.
The temporary redirect (307) was added in 1.1 because so many clients reacted
improperly to the 302 found status.
