http - Go web server is automatically redirecting POST requests

Question

I've been trying to solve a weird problem for quite some time now. After stepping through lots of angular code, I noticed something weird while logging requests to my server through Charles.

When I post to a url /myurl the request never actually hits my server. Instead, it gets a 301 response and THEN a GET request hite my server.

This is incredibly puzzling. Has anyone else run into this problem? I've uploaded a screenshot of my Charles log incase you are interested.

Just as a reference, this is what my server looks like:

type FormStruct struct {
    Test string
}

func PHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    var t FormStruct

    req, _ := httputil.DumpRequest(r, true)

    log.Println(string(req))
    log.Println(r.Method) // GET
    log.Println(r.Body)

    decoder := json.NewDecoder(r.Body)
    err := decoder.Decode(&t)
    log.Println("Decoding complete")
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("Error")
        panic(err.Error()+"

")
    }
    log.Println(t.Test)

    w.Write([]byte("Upload complete, no errors"))
}

func main() {
    http.HandleFunc("/myurl/", PHandler)    
    fmt.Println("Go Server listening on port 8001")
    http.ListenAndServe(":8001", nil)
}
