HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect

In short: Temporary redirect in which method and body stay unchanged.

In more detail: Unlike 302 the client must not silently turn a POST into a GET. It repeats the same request at the new address. Search engines keep the old address in the index.

In Depth

When it occurs

• Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS (with HSTS often internally as 307).
• Maintenance redirect where form data must be preserved.

What you can do

1. As a visitor there is nothing to do.
2. Operators: use 307 for temporary redirects that keep the method, 302 only if GET is enough; for permanent moves use 308 or 301.
