RequestDispatcher is called a programmatic redirect. It is a feature
of the API, not of HTTP generally. It is not designed to do what you
want it to do... it's really as simple as that.

You should be able to send a redirect with a POST - though I'm not
sure - I haven't checked the HTTP RFC.
redirect *is* an HTTP feature. What it does is to send back to the
browser a response saying:
the resource you want isn't here - try this place instead
The browser then uses the suggested location to make another HTTP
request.
But that is still not the same as a RequestDispatcher.forward().
