Bug 31410

Hey, I'm finding that WebKit (starting with Safari 4.0.4 (WebKit 5531.21.10), has always been working before) is not behaving accordingly to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html Steps to reproduce: - POST some data to some page, e.g. /comments.html - comments.html responds with "303 See Other" and "Location: http://.../goto.html?comment=1234" To quote from the RFC: >This method exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the >user agent to a selected resource. >The new URI is not a substitute reference for the originally requested resource. (!!) - goto.html?comment=1234 is being requested via GET (so far, so good!) - goto.html responds with "307 Temporary Redirect" and a Location header (because the URL it redirects to may change) >The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection >MAY be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. - Instead of GETing the new Location (/thread123.html), Safari POSTs to /thread123.html again, with the data from the original POST request. It did not do that before 4.0.4. Both Windows and Mac 4.0.4s are affected. --- It seems that the 307 response code kinda overwrites the previous 303 and WebKit ignores that on the 303, it should have forgotten about the POST data already. Any chance we can see this fixed? I'll have to use 301 instead of 307 for now, as a work-around, but I don't like that. Thanks!
