That appears correct, the THttpCli changes a POST to a GET request
when automatically redirecting.
RFC1945 however say that this is wrong:
[..]
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request using
the POST method, the user agent must not automatically redirect the
request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
change the conditions under which the request was issued.
Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after
receiving a 302 status code, some existing user agents will
erroneously change it into a GET request.
