Incorrect. The IE behavior is also wrong, just in a different way: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt

According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10...

    RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 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.
