I strongly agree with the 307 proposal cited above. It is most
unfair to those who have made the effort to read and understand the
specifications to change them now by swapping the codes, even if
there is time for them to recover (which we cannot know in any
case).
Deprecate but allow 302; leave ambiguous.
Add 307 for 'Redirect Request'; emphasize that method does not
change and that this response implies not state change on the
server.
Leave 303 as 'See Other'.
