Status
302 FoundWhat is a 302 Found HTTP response?
A 302 Found response is used for the temporary redirection of a resource.
For example, a resource that was previously at www.site1.com has temporarily moved to www.site2.org.
If the redirect is likely to be required on a permanent basis then a 301 Moved Permanently response would be more appropriate.

A 302 is in the 3xx class of status codes which are redirection based.
Other status codes in the 3xx class include 300, 301, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, and 308.
