The HTTP 302 Found
redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been
temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location
header. A browser redirects to this page but
search engines don't update their links to the resource (in 'SEO-speak', it is said that the 'link-juice' is not sent to
the new URL).
Even if the specification requires the method (and the body) not to be altered when the redirection is performed, not
all user-agents conform here - you can still find this type of bugged software out there. It is therefore recommended to
set the 302
code only as a response for GET
or HEAD
methods and to use 307 Temporary Redirect
instead, as the method
change is explicitly prohibited in that case.
In the cases where you want the method used to be changed to GET
, use 303 See Other
instead. This is useful when you
want to give a response to a PUT
method that is not the uploaded resource but a confirmation
message such as: 'you
successfully uploaded XYZ'.
