The target resource resides temporarily under a different URI and the user agent MUST NOT change the request method if it performs an automatic redirection to that URI.
The server SHOULD generate a Location header field in the response containing a URI reference for the different URI. The user agent MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. The server's response payload usually contains a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the different URI(s).
Note: This status code is similar to 302 Found, except that it does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET. This specification defines no equivalent counterpart for [301 Moved Permanently](/301) ([RFC7238][2], however, proposes defining the status code [308 Permanent Redirect](/308) for this purpose).
