What is HTTP 303 See Other?

The 303 (See Other) status code indicates that the server is redirecting the user agent to a different resource that provides an indirect response to the request. The client should use GET to fetch the new resource. This is commonly used after a POST request to redirect to a results page, preventing form resubmission if the user hits refresh.

Common Use Cases

  • Post-Redirect-Get (PRG) pattern for forms
  • Redirecting to a payment confirmation page
  • API redirect to a status endpoint
