Long: post301
Help: Do not switch to GET after following a 301
Protocols: HTTP
See-also: post302 post303 location
Added: 7.17.1
Category: http post
---
Tells curl to respect RFC 7231/6.4.2 and not convert POST requests into GET
requests when following a 301 redirection. The non-RFC behavior is ubiquitous
in web browsers, so curl does the conversion by default to maintain
consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such
a redirection. This option is meaningful only when using --location.

language: s/behaviour/behavior/g We currently use both spellings the british "behaviour" and the american "behavior". However "behavior" is more used in the project so I think it's worth dropping the british name. Closes #6395 2020-12-31 04:11:49 -05:00			`requests when following a 301 redirection.
