Respect RFC 7231/6.4.2 and do not convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirect. 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.
