For example, a POST request should be repeated using another POST request. 308 Permanent Redirect This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI. 308 parallels the behavior of 301, but does not allow the HTTP method to change. So, for example, submitting a form to a permanently redirected resource may continue smoothly.
It, however, is only defined for the request header. Its meaning in a response header is not specified. [77] The behavior of Pragma: no-cache in a response is implementation specific. While some user agents do pay attention to this field in responses, [78] the HTTP/1.1 RFC specifically warns against relying on this behavior.
Headers; An empty line; Optional HTTP message body data; The request/status line and headers must all end with <CR><LF> (that is, a carriage return followed by a line feed). The empty line must consist of only <CR><LF> and no other whitespace. The "optional HTTP message body data" is what this article defines.
The HTML 4.01 specification optionally allows this tag to be parsed by HTTP servers and set as part of the HTTP response headers, [25] but no web servers currently implement this behavior. [26] Instead, the user agent emulates the behavior for some HTTP headers as if they had been sent in the response header itself.
In HTTP, "Referer" (a misspelling of "Referrer" [1]) is an optional HTTP header field that identifies the address of the web page (i.e., the URI or IRI) from which the resource has been requested. By checking the referrer, the server providing the new web page can see where the request originated.
XMLHttpRequest data is subject to this security policy, but sometimes web developers want to intentionally circumvent its restrictions. This is sometimes due to the legitimate use of subdomains as, for example, making an XMLHttpRequest from a page created by foo.example.com for information from bar.example.com will normally fail.
In this circumstance, the Location header should be sent with an HTTP status code of 3xx. It is passed as part of the response by a web server when the requested URI has: Moved temporarily; Moved permanently; or; Processed a request, e.g. a POSTed form, and is providing the result of that request at a different URI
HTTP header injection is a general class of web application security vulnerability which occurs when Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) headers are dynamically generated based on user input. Header injection in HTTP responses can allow for HTTP response splitting , session fixation via the Set-Cookie header, cross-site scripting (XSS), and ...
