We currently suspend any method if the response code is a non 307 redirect.
That I believe is wrong. We should only be suspending the POST method and
not others.

Well yeah. It has opened a whole lot of possibilities that we must keep
considering. I will handle it separately for HEAD and send in a patch soon.
However, I was thinking, that since the new --method command needs a lot of
work specific to itself and that it may only increase in the future, we
should handle that code separately? Maybe a set_method_opts() function?
