-Tells curl to respect RFC 7231/6.4.4 and not convert POST requests into GET
-requests when following a 303 redirection. The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous

-consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such
-a redirection. This option is meaningful only when using --location.
