If I do a request:

Lynx decides not to redirect to the new /test URL...
If I change either the original request or the Location response to
include a query parameter (ie. s=t), Lynx redirects as expected.

Is this a bug or a feature? All browsers that I tested properly
redirect, except for Lynx and derivatives (Links, ELinks).

What was the most recent GET?  If the sequence was:

GET /test
POST /test
303 (Location=/Test)

This is allowable, in the absence of conflicting cache-control directives.

If the sequence was:

GET /trial
POST /test
303 (Location=/Test)

it is a bug.
