Comment (by nacin):

 Good reads: http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/www/post-redirect.html.

 According to that at least, a 301 should result in a POST to the new URL,
 while it appears a 302/3/7 should result in a GET. That said, it looks
 like browsers make a mess of what *should* occur.

 The article appears quite definitive (if old), but of course, grain of
 salt for things you read on the interwebs.
