Can you specify the HTTP method to use with Sinatra's redirect?

Question

I have something like this:

post "/login" do

end

get "/login" do

end

post "/register" do
  ...
  redirect "/login" # I would like to redirect to get "/login" instead of post "login"
end

Can I tell sinatra that I want to use get, and not have it implicitly select "post" ?

Most browsers will reset to GET with a 302 (default) redirect. If you're up against a browser that is actually doing the correct thing and NOT changing the request method, you can force it to change with a 303.

redirect '/login', 303
