Rewrite has no problem. It doesn't dictate a verb that the client should
use. The user-agent you're using is choosing to do this, possibly
correctly, upon receipt of the 301 response.
Have a read of the 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 sections here for more
information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#3xx_Redirection
Your options appear to be to use an experimental response code, or to
enforce that clients POST to the correct port. I'd choose the latter if at
all possible.
