According to our best friend RFC 2616 for HTTP/1.1

10.4.9 408 Request Timeout

   The client did not produce a request within the time that the server
   was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without
   modifications at any later time.

So if the client has implemented 408 it is just perfect for our
situation as we don't get like "You 've been redirected"-messages or so
but can plainly tell the browser to retry.
Most propably there won't be any POST-requests, but many browsers do
complain on redirected POST-forms.

Greetings

Matthias
