You are correct that lots of clients now redirect with a GET instead of a POST, even curl does this, which is a bummer. The best thing to do in that case is to catch the response code (without following the redirect automatically) and manually re-attempt the POST with the new location. We know it's a pain, but that's one way around the POST->GET problem. -Chad
