307FoundTemporary

307FoundTemporary is an informal label used to refer to the HTTP status code 307 Temporary Redirect. This status code signals that the requested resource is temporarily available at a different URI, provided in the Location header of the response.

When a server returns 307 Temporary Redirect, the client is expected to repeat the original request to the URI given in Location, using the same HTTP method and the same request body as the original request. The reason for preserving the method is to ensure that POST, PUT, or other requests are not inadvertently turned into GET requests during redirection. Because the redirect is intended to be temporary, the original request URI should remain valid for future requests, and caches may treat the response as non-permanent unless explicit caching headers indicate otherwise.

307 Temporary Redirect differs from 301 Moved Permanently and 308 Permanent Redirect in that its redirection is not intended to be permanent, and from 302 Found and 303 See Other in its guarantee about preserving the original request method. In practice, 307 is used during temporary maintenance, load balancing, or other scenarios where a resource is temporarily available at a different URI.

Note that 307TemporaryRedirect is not an official alternative name in the core HTTP specification; standard references call it 307 Temporary Redirect. The label 307FoundTemporary may appear in some documentation or tooling as a shorthand but refers to the same status code.
