Description:POSTing the URI {{/stasis/bridges/?type=holding}} will fail silently.

It appears the reason is because {{/stasis/}} matches a URI handler in {{main/http.c}} and calls the callback registered by stasis, but stasis doesn't actually handle the POST (because it doesn't actually match a valid URI) and fails silently.

Note that some libraries will, at this point, switch to a GET, which will return data, causing some very odd behavior - instead of making a new bridge you get a listing of all existing bridges.

Per David's investigation, we actually are responding with a "302 Found" to the POST request.

Quoting him here:

Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
     to change the method on the redirected request.  However, most
     existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
     response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
     of the original request method.
