FWIW, I can't, off-hand, think of anything that would need to be said
about this in the specification for the HTTP protocol.  The meaning of
the redirect should be clear from the definition of the status code,
and only the client is in a position to understand how to react to
such a message when crafting a follow-on request.

Mark.
