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.

Long: post301
Help: Do not switch to GET after following a 301
Protocols: HTTP

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.
