Redirection

HTTP 302: Found

HTTP 302 means the resource is temporarily found at another URL.

Meaning

The redirect is temporary, so clients should keep the original URL for future requests.

Common causes

Temporary routing, login flows, A/B tests, and short-lived redirects often use 302.

What to check

Use 301 or 308 for permanent moves. Check the Location header for the temporary target.

Example response

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
