A 307 temporary redirect is an HTTP status code 307 that indicates a webpage or resource that has been temporarily relocated to a different URL.
When a user attempts to visit the original URL, the server sends an HTTP 1.1 307 temporary redirect response, instructing the browser to automatically fetch the content from the temporary location while maintaining the original HTTP request method (GET, POST, etc.).
Unlike permanent redirects, the 307 status code tells search engines that this change is temporary and the resource will eventually return to its original location.
What Causes the 307 Temporary Redirect?
Several situations can trigger an HTTP code 307. Common causes include:
- Website maintenance: When pages are temporarily taken down for updates
- Load balancing: Redirecting traffic to different servers during high-traffic periods
- A/B testing: Comparing and testing different versions of a website
- Security measures: When implementing 307 internal redirect for HTTPS enforcement
- Temporary content relocation: During site reorganization or updates
The HTTP 307 temporary redirect is particularly important because it strictly maintains the original request method, ensuring data integrity during form submissions and other POST requests. This makes it more secure than other temporary redirect codes like 302.
Example
Here’s a simple example of a 307 temporary redirect in action:
Request:
GET /login.php HTTP/2.0
Host: example101.com
Response:
HTTP/2.0 307 Temporary Redirect
Location: /temporary-login.php
Cache-Control: no-cache
In this example, when a user tries to access the login page at example.com/login.php, the server responds with a 307 status code and redirects them to a temporary login page.
The browser automatically makes a new request to /temporary-login.php while maintaining the original GET method. This might occur during maintenance or testing of the main login system.
