HTTP 302 Found

What is HTTP 302 Found?

The 302 (Found) status code indicates that the target resource resides temporarily under a different URI. The client should continue to use the original URI for future requests. Unlike 301, this redirect is temporary and search engines will keep indexing the original URL. In HTTP/1.0, this was the original temporary redirect and browsers implement it as a GET redirect regardless of the original request method.

Common Use Cases

• Temporary page maintenance
• A/B testing redirects
• Post-login redirect
• Campaign tracking redirects

// Laravel - post-login redirect (302 by default)
return redirect()->intended('/dashboard');

// Express.js
res.redirect(302, '/temporary-page');
