HTTP Redirect Scenario Guide
Choose a redirect scenario and request method; compare local illustrations of 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 without sending a request.
About this http redirect scenario guide
Choose a redirect scenario and request method; compare local illustrations of 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 without sending a request Performs protocol inspection, IP calculation, and network analysis client-side without sending probes or exposing network topology.
Protocol mechanics & network logic
Choose a domain move, a temporary destination or API forwarding, then a request method. For APIs select temporary or permanent forwarding. Compare the five codes 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 below.
Worked network diagnostic scenario
Scenario: Compare the five bundled 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 redirect entries without contacting a server.
Sample input:
Processing: Return five fixed redirect records with permanence, method handling, default cacheability and RFC section; no network request is made. For API POST, temporary forwarding recommends 307 and permanent forwarding 308; both preserve POST in this illustration. Among the five codes, 301 and 302 can instead illustrate POST → GET or retained POST. 303 illustrates POST → GET.
Illustrative output:
Addressing limits & protocol boundaries
Closed teaching model: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE. No URL, payload or server input. The illustration assumes an allowed automatic redirect, a replayable body for non-GET/HEAD requests and a usable Location target. Real client rules can prevent following or replay.
Addressing calculations and subnet models in HTTP Redirect Scenario Guide follow IETF RFC definitions. Ensure subnet masks and CIDR prefixes match your network topology.
Offline network inspection boundary
Address parsing and CIDR calculations in HTTP Redirect Scenario Guide run entirely client-side without probing external IP networks or transmitting routing data.

Frequently asked questions
How do scenarios choose a code?+
Operational requirements for "How do scenarios choose a code?" are verified in local memory during execution of HTTP Redirect Scenario Guide.
How are request methods illustrated?+
301 and 302 MAY change POST to GET; neither choice here predicts a particular client. The selector affects POST with these two codes only.
What are the limits and cache assumptions?+
This is scenario guidance, not an HTTP client or server configuration. A temporary outage with no usable replacement may need 503 and Retry-After instead of a redirect. 303 is an indirect retrieval such as a post/redirect/get result, not a permanent resource move. All choices and illustrations stay local; no redirect request or network measurement occurs.
What does the example show?+
Security isolation for "What does the example show?" ensures zero transmission beyond your local workstation.
