Tells curl to respect RFC 7231/6.4.4 and not convert POST requests into GET

requests when following a 303 redirection. The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous

in web browsers, so curl does the conversion by default to maintain

consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such

a redirection. This option is meaningful only when using --location.
