+            Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
+            to change the method on the redirected request.  However, most
+            existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
+            response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
+            of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have

+            status. When interoperability with such clients is a concern, the
+            302 status code may be used instead, since most user agents react
+            to a 302 response as described here for 303.
