-    <x:h>Note:</x:h> <xref target="RFC1945"/> and <xref target="RFC2068"/> specify that the client is not allowed
-    to change the method on the redirected request.  However, most
-    existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
-    response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
-    of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
-    been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
-    kind of reaction is expected of the client.
