3xx Redirects

308 Permanent Redirect

Like 301, but the method and body must stay the same.

When you see it

  • Permanent moves of API endpoints that receive POST, PUT or DELETE.

What to do

  1. 1

    Use 308 for permanent moves of non-GET endpoints; 301 for normal pages.

Check the status of a URL

The first line of the response shows the status code; -L follows redirects and shows each step.

curl -I https://example.com/page
curl -IL https://example.com/old-page
