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?

It appears that the answer is on page POST-requesting a location sending Refresh header makes Firefox create GET request but still hold POST data - and <meta> Refresh is deprecated, should not be used at all.
