3xx Redirects

307 Temporary Redirect

Like 302, but the browser must repeat the same method and body (a POST stays a POST).

When you see it

  • HSTS: browsers show an internal 307 when they upgrade http to https.
  • APIs that move a POST endpoint temporarily.

What to do

  1. 1

    Nothing to fix for HSTS upgrades.

  2. 2

    Use 307 instead of 302 when a redirected POST must keep its body.

.htaccess redirect generator

Check the status of a URL

The first line of the response shows the status code; -L follows redirects and shows each step.

curl -I https://example.com/page
curl -IL https://example.com/old-page
