Well, the difference is that 402 doesn't come with any information about what it is, except for the name: "10.4.3 402 Payment Required This code is reserved for future use." -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#rfc.section.10.4.3> So how about: "9.3.6 305 Use Proxy This code is reserved for future use (see Section xyz for information about how it was previously defined)." And then in the Changes section note what it used to be...: "Deprecate 305 Use Proxy status code, because user agents did not implement it. It used to indicate that the requested resource must be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. The Location field gave the URI of the proxy. The recipient was expected to repeat this single request via the proxy. (Section 9.3.6)" BR, Julian
