Description: ------------ HTTP_Client respond to a redirect containing code 301 with a post request to location. Clients like firefox or IE with a get request. This create a problem when "location" don't expect a post and tells you: "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /the_location.html". The patch is easy, but i don't look at the HTTP specs... --- Client.php 12 Dec 2003 15:53:23 -0000 1.2 +++ Client.php 12 Jul 2004 13:58:25 -0000 @@ -245,7 +245,7 @@ // we access the private properties directly, as there are no accessors for them switch ($request->_method) { case HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST: - if (302 == $code || 303 == $code) { + if (301 == $code || 302 == $code || 303 == $code) { return $this->get($url); } else { return $this->post($url, $request->_postData, true);

RFC2616 - 10.3.2 301 Moved Permanently "Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request." Ok, then this is a feature request for simulate broken browsers... ;-)

In CVS version of HTTP_Client I added possibility to define a constant 'HTTP_CLIENT_QUIRK_MODE', if it is present then the class will behave just like browsers do, i.e. perform a GET request. If there are other differences between RFC 2616 and its common implementations, then they can be toggled by this constant, too.
