If you activated the "cookie engine" (with -b or -c), it will.

curl will use the Location: header to go to. As that header has the added
"?execution=e1s1" part the next request will use that.

A little caveat to consider is if you do POST and then let curl follow a
redirect on a 301 or 302 response as that's a bit ambiguous. The original HTTP
standard says it should send a post in the subsequent request as well but
browsers never did but always switched to GET instead so that's what curl does
as well - unless you use --post301 or --post302 to instead force curl to obey
the spec and do a POST again.
