Right, because your browser sent off the POST and then followed the Location:
that header returned.

Your program does the POST to the remote site, the browser that views the
page which contains your program of course has no idea where you would want
it to "go".
So, your program could do the POST to the remote server and then send a
Location: to the browser to go there.
But, the "www.abcdef.com/process.php" will assume a POST when someone "goes"
there so it'll most likely just make things very confusing.
I think you're confusing what your program does and what you want the browser
to do, and you try to interchange between those two in a way I think you'll
have problems succeeding with.
