The HTTP response status code 303 See Other is a way to redirect web applications to a new URI, particularly after a HTTP POST has been performed, since RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1). According to RFC 7231, which obsoletes RFC 2616, "A 303 response to a GET request indicates that the origin server does not have a representation of the target resource ...
Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to distinguish between the two behaviours. [1]: §15.4 303 See Other (since HTTP/1.1) The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method. When received in response to a POST (or PUT/DELETE), the client should presume that the server has received the data and should ...
The HTTP Location header field is returned in responses from an HTTP server under two circumstances: . To ask a web browser to load a different web page (URL redirection).In this circumstance, the Location header should be sent with an HTTP status code of 3xx.
Under HTTP 1.0, connections should always be closed by the server after sending the response. [1]Since at least late 1995, [2] developers of popular products (browsers, web servers, etc.) using HTTP/1.0, started to add an unofficial extension (to the protocol) named "keep-alive" in order to allow the reuse of a connection for multiple requests/responses.
Diagram of a double POST problem encountered in user agents. Diagram of the double POST problem above being solved by PRG. Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time.
302 found (originally "temporary redirect" in HTTP/1.0 and popularly used for CGI scripts; superseded by 303 and 307 in HTTP/1.1 but preserved for backward compatibility) 303 see other (forces a GET request to the new URL even if original request was POST) 305 use proxy (indicates that the client's requested resource is only available through a ...
If a web server responds with Cache-Control: no-cache then a web browser or other caching system (intermediate proxies) must not use the response to satisfy subsequent requests without first checking with the originating server (this process is called validation). This header field is part of HTTP version 1.1, and is ignored by some caches and ...
307 Temporary Redirect: Like 302, but guarantees that the method and the body will not be changed when the redirected request is made. 303 See Other: Used when the result of a POST or another non-idempotent request method is a resource that should be retrieved using a GET.
