This can easily be controlled with cache control headers.

Not making a redirect would give the login form more control
on what to do after the login.
Currently, I would allow to work around a bug in
CookieCrumber (it does not include "QUERY_STRING" in its
"came_from"). Including additional request information
may be also interesting for some "POST" requests (that do
not have a meaningfull "QUERY_STRING").
