Comment (by Alex):

 I just read through RFC2616 and you are correct that the spec says that
 you are supposed to redirect using the same request method, however the
 spec specifically notes that most clients transform any redirects into a
 GET, this is the behavior of most web browsers, AFAIK.  I think the
 solution here might be for you to just use follow=False and do the
 redirect tracking manually, as I think the django test client wants to
 stay similar to browsers.
