    _______________________________________________________

Details:

According to the man page: "In case of a 301 Moved Permanently, 302 Moved
Temporarily or 307 Temporary Redirect, Wget will, in accordance with RFC2616,
continue to send a POST request."

That doesn't seem to work after 301 and 302, see debug.output.

It seems the comparison is inverted. It should keep POST if it was POST ("==",
not "!="), see attached patch which seems to fix the problem for me.
