Re: On QUERY and -X

I personally like the idea of adding a flag specifically for this new -L
behavior.

Or alternatively change the default -L behavior.

I think that this might become a new default, that any response might be
used to return a specific / custom METHOD to use in redirected / subsequent
requests, unrelated to the query method.

Like that a Get could redirect to a query method call, or as specified here
in the proposal, that query redirects can respond with a get method
redirect.

Or that a server might even be to implement custom methods, which the query
redirects to.

Since it's so specific to redirects, I'd probably change how -L works
instead of -X.
