307 Temporary Redirect
Description
HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect
redirect
status response code indicates that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to
the URL given by the Location
headers.
The method and the body of the original request are reused to perform the redirected
request. 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 an answer to a PUT
method that is not the
uploaded resources, but a confirmation message (like "You successfully uploaded XYZ").
The only difference between 307
and 302
is that
307
guarantees that the method and the body will not be changed when the
redirected request is made. With 302
, some old clients were incorrectly
changing the method to GET
: the behavior with non-GET
methods and 302
is then unpredictable on the Web, whereas the behavior with
307
is predictable. For GET
requests, their behavior is identical.
