  - Section 15.4`|  *Note:* In HTTP/1.0, the status codes 301 (Moved Permanently)|  and 302 (Found) were defined for the first type of redirect|  ([RFC1945], Section 9.3).  Early user agents split on whether|  the method applied to the redirect target would be the same as|  the original request or would be rewritten as GET.  Although|  HTTP originally defined the former semantics for 301 and 302|  (to match its original implementation at CERN), and defined 303|  (See Other) to match the latter semantics, prevailing practice|  gradually converged on the latter semantics for 301 and 302 as|  well.  The first revision of HTTP/1.1 added 307 (Temporary|  Redirect) to indicate the former semantics of 302 without being|  impacted by divergent practice.  For the same reason, 308|  (Permanent Redirect) was later on added in [RFC7538] to match|  301.  [...]` (by reschke)
