HTTP 308 Permanent Redirect

What is HTTP 308 Permanent Redirect?

The 308 (Permanent Redirect) status code is the method-preserving counterpart of 301. Like 301, it indicates the resource has moved permanently. But like 307, it requires the client to preserve the HTTP method. This is important for non-GET requests like POST, PUT, and DELETE where changing the method would change the semantics.

Common Use Cases

• Permanent API endpoint migration
• Method-preserving permanent redirects
• POST endpoint relocation

// Laravel - permanent redirect preserving method
return redirect()
    ->away('https://api.example.com/v2/users')
    ->setStatusCode(308);
