.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a
301, 302 or 303 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value
\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_301\fP) tells the library to respect RFC2616/10.3.2 and not
convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection.
Setting bit 1 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_302\fP) makes libcurl maintain the
request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2 (value
\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303\fP) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a
303 redirect. The value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_ALL\fP is a convenience define that
sets all three bits.
\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_301\fP) tells the library to respect RFC 7231 (section
6.4.2 to 6.4.4) and not convert POST requests into GET requests when following
a 301 redirection. Setting bit 1 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_302\fP) makes
libcurl maintain the request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2
(value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303\fP) makes libcurl maintain the request method
after a 303 redirect. The value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_ALL\fP is a convenience
define that sets all three bits.
The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the
conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a
