    Philip Langdale provided the new CURLOPT_POST301 option for · fd4cf78f
    Daniel Stenberg authored
    curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
    redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
    after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
    method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
    - because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
    option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
    the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
    
    The curl tool got this option as --post301
    
    Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
