Netscape 7.0 is Mozilla too and the problem doesn't occur with Mozilla 1.2.1,
so I think it is probably related to newer Mozillas.

For me with Netscape 7.1 on Mac OS X, it asks whether the data should be
reposted to the new URL.  This is probably because section 10.3.8 of the HTTP
1.1 spec says that it should.

For HTTP 1.1, possibly CL-HTTP needs to allow the server to send a 303
response code instead of 307?
