Does it say that? A proper HTTP client should do what the response code
says...

Nope. It seems there's a 302 returned and HTTP response code 302 is (as
RFC2616 section 10.3.3 and 10.3.4 explains) treated as a 303 for backwards
compliance with how old user-agents used to do it. Which means when when
following a Location: and a 302, curl makes the next request a GET no matter
what the previous one was.

If so, then I suspect that the site responds with different contents when you
do that with the browser. The response headers you showed here should redirect
immediately.

This is the kind of things we use curl for and we don't consider it rude to
ask about it. I'm convinced you can make curl do what you want.
