Is the 303 Redirection from Post to Get coming from the server itself or the still client?

The server will take the original post request from the form but then is it the now server sending itself a new request as a Get method with the query appended on?

The 3 digits code is part of a response, never a request, so it's always sent by the server to the client. Inside the server there is no need to duplicate the request, just a rerouting, because GET or POST is just a parameter on how to deal with the data. The data itself isn't modified. The 303 in the response is meant to don't trouble the client, because he expected a page and got an other. He could throw an error. It's like you ask for a coffee and the waiter give you a tea without a word :)
