If the browser uses HTTP 1.1, then you may use the new
HTTP 1.1 response code that allows you to specify unmistakenly
that you want the redirection be handled as a GET request.
HTTP/1.0 browsers, however, will not understand these response
codes.

I think, "REQUEST.environ['SERVER_PROTOCOL']" will tell you,
what HTTP version is used.
