o Preference: location o Value: One of either "redirect" or "stay" o Description: In state change requests, the client prefers the server to return either a redirect status code or a 2xx status code when a response contains a Location header. The value "redirect" indicates a 303 See Other should be returned. The value "stay" indicates an appropriate 2xx status should be returned. o Reference: HTTP/1.1: Semantics and Content, section 4.4.4 303 See Other [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.4.4] o Notes: This preference is intended to be used with HTTP methods that return a Location header and either a 303 or a 2xx status code. This preference supports the Post/Redirect/Get pattern. Wikipedia's entry for this pattern explains it's value in client interactions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get for details.
