You're language was confusing for me, so sorry if I have misinterpreted but
there is no symmetry between 301 and 303 (not 304) responses as clearly defined
in the HTTP RFC section that I keep citing.

Also, as has already been mentioned, the redirects do not happen by chance, the
controling party of the OpenID identity has made the conscious decision to
provide a HTTP redirect and ignoring the semantics of this breaks HTTP.
