 Welcome to the world of Specifications.

 Seeing what "modern" browsers do with this spec would be interesting, as
 the article mentioned above is of 2000~2005 vintage. That being said, if
 someone is using WP_HTTP for interaction with a RESTful API, then we'd
 want to honor the spec correctly (ignoring the verification stuff)

 > but what I gathered was that 302/303 should redirect to GET (but we'll
 ignore verification with user for 302) and 307 should continue as a POST
 (but we'll ignore verification with user)

 Thats what I gathered.
