Ah, I see what you meen.

I thought about the HTTP codes 301 / 302 (moved temporarily / moved
permanently) which indeed lead to a client-side redirect. I don't know
which type of redirect (internal or external) is triggered by your code.

Please make sure that your browser URL doesn't change, if you do your
redirect.

If it is a server-internal redirect then of course it just means that
the processing pipline calls up yet another handler to process the
request. In that case I agree with you - then request should contain
everything that has been sent from the client - including uploads. If
that doesn't work, you can probably only write a bug report.
