Description Adam Barth 2008-11-27 11:30:35 PST 
According to the HTTP RFC at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html, an HTTP 307 redirect should keep the current HTTP method.  However, Safari resets the method to GET.  I haven't debugged this enough to know whether this is a WebKit bug or a CFNetwork bug.

Test case:

Comment 2 Darin Fisher (:fishd, Google) 2008-11-28 14:16:44 PST 
The redirect request is constructed by the ResourceHandle implementation, so this is likely a bug with the underlying network library.
Comment 3 Julian Reschke 2010-09-21 06:59:18 PDT 
Note that this is still the case in Safari 5.0.2, although it may be limited to synchronous XHR.
Comment 4 Adam Barth 2011-07-18 13:44:51 PDT 
This line of code appears to do this work:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/platform/network/mac/ResourceHandleMac.mm?rev=90834#L695

Perhaps we're not hitting that line in synchronous requests?

Yes, that's how we see it too.
