Q: POST - Location - GET/POST
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 08:36:27 +0100 (MET)
Hi
From the recent bug report
(http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=129815&group_id=976)
The following question has been raised:
Is there a point to add an option that would make curl *NOT* revert to GET
after a POST and Location:?
Today, when you use a POST operation and tell curl to follow a Location:,
curl automatically switches to GET after the initial request and thus the
order of operation is: POST - Location - GET. Howard Gayle wants the
operation to be POST - Location - POST, which indidently was how curl
behaved all the way until curl 7.1 (I think, I haven't checked the exact
version).
Is there a point of adding this as a separate option? What if there's a
second location after the second POST, what is curl supposed to do then?
