Extra GET Request on META Refresh Redirect (CGI-C)

Question

I have a form (on page form.html ) submitting with POST method to a CGI-C page - let's call it form.cgi - and what form.cgi does is it redirects the user to the previous page (to form.html ) with appending query strings using HTTP-EQUIV Refresh META after 5 seconds.

However, if I monitor the Web server's access.log although I see the appropriate POST request for form.cgi there is an additional GET request for form.cgi again, after 5 seconds just before redirecting the user to form.html

Has anyone faced with such an issue?

答案似乎在POST页面上，请求发送Refresh标头的位置使Firefox创建GET请求，但仍保留POST数据 -并且<meta> Refresh已被弃用，完全不应使用。
