POST before redirect?

[Stephen Philbin]

Hi folks. Just designing part of an app here and could do with knowing if POST data is sent even if a Location respose header is recieved?

I mean, does it go:

Client: "Hi. I want that page."

Server: "Sorry, That page is over there -->"

Client: "Ok. I guess I'll take my post data over there then."

Or does it go:

Client: "Hi. I want that page and here's a bunch of post data for it."

Server: "My, aren't we the over eager one today. Sorry, but you'll have to take your post data over there. --->"

?

I believe it would be the second one, although browsers aren't normally so verbose.

Thanks Adam, and welcome back.

Thanks Adam, and welcome back.

No problem.

BTW, what was your old username? I'm pretty sure I don't remember a Stephen Philbin.

I doubt you'd remember me anyway. You scarpered only a few months after I started posting regularly. I used to be known as "Mr Herer".
