At a guess, you're using Apache and it's doing an "internal redirect" because you've
used a relative pathname (so the file must be in the same document root!); in this
case, Apache just does a silent internal substitution of the redirect page, and all
data associated with the context will remain intact -- there is no round-trip back to
your browser.
If you use an absolute URL in the Location: header, Apache will return the redirect to
your browser -- and because your browser now knows it's a genuine new request, the
POST data is not resent.
The trick is to look at the URL appearing in your browser's address bar -- if it stays
as the originally requested address, Apache did an internal redirect; if it changes to
the redirect address, it was an external redirect which round-tripped to your browser.
Cheers!
