I may be misinterpretting your command here, have you tried
[jeeves:~] drieux% which get GET post POST
/usr/bin/get
/usr/bin/GET
/usr/bin/post
/usr/bin/POST
[jeeves:~] drieux%
I think the problem becomes more obvious with:
[jeeves:~] drieux% which get GET post POST head HEAD | xargs ls -li | sort
328185 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/POST
328185 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/post
328186 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/GET
328186 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/get
328189 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/HEAD
328189 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14361 May 18 15:42 /usr/bin/head

darwin seems to be 'mostly case insensitive' in it's file name space.
in that it views
head HEAD Head
as being the same file... but strangely enough does not 'get'
"heAD" and "HEad" as being a similar player....
