The 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code indicates that 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. Since the
redirection can change over time, the client ought to continue using the
original effective request URI for future requests.
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,
defines the status code [308 (Permanent Redirect)](/308) for this purpose).
