include wp-load.php && POST = redirect to /wp-admin/install.php

[Bjorn Padding]

When including wp-load.php in an external php-script and POSTing to that script with (for instance) a browser, redirects the browser to /wp-admin/install.php, instead of the external script getting the chance to process the POST request itself. GETing the script, functions as expected and is processed by the external script.

Can't reproduce neither on 3.0.3 nor on 3.1-RC1-17163.

Might be related to the specific request and/or script.

Maybe it's for multisite? See #14913 as possibly related.

I've tried a basic form sample:

<?php 
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

if ( !empty($_POST) )
	print_r($_POST);
?>
<form method="post">
<input name="sample" type="text">
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Can't reproduce on Multisite either.
