--- set: 3 code: 308 title: Permanent Redirect --- The 308 (Permanent Redirect) status code indicates that the target resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource ought to use one of the enclosed URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically re-link references to the effective request URI ([Section 5.5 of RFC7230][2]) to one or more of the new references sent by the server, where possible. The server SHOULD generate a Location header field ([[RFC7231], Section 7.1.2][3]) in the response containing a preferred URI reference for the new permanent 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 new URI(s). A 308 response is cacheable by default; i.e., unless otherwise indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls ([see RFC7234, Section 4.2.2][4]). Note: This status code is similar to 301 (Moved Permanently) ([RFC7231, Section 6.4.2][5]), except that it does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET.
