PHP redirection with code 307 changes method from POST to GET

Question

In my PHP software I have an self-update feature which sends a HTTP request with the POST method to a certain URL (to a PHP script). Now this URL has changed (I moved the script

It looks like file_get_contents does not repost the data, possibly for the reason highlighted by @daiscog.

Curl however will repost to the redirected url:

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/old/long/path/update.php');   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);    
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);    
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $requestData);

$serverResponse = curl_exec($ch);

However it would make more sense to either handle this at the server level (eg an Apache url rewrite) or to simply include the new file in the old one:

//old.php
include('path/to/new.php');
