307 Temporary Redirect

Like 302, but strictly forces the client to use the exact same HTTP method (e.g., POST) when following the redirect.

When and Why to Use It

Use this instead of 302 when you want to guarantee the client will use the EXACT same HTTP method after redirecting. If they POSTed to the old URL, they must POST to the new URL.

Usage Examples

Shokupan (Functional)

import { HttpCode, get } from 'shokupan';

export const getResource = get('/resource', () => {
    return { message: 'Temporary Redirect' };
}).pipe(HttpCode(307));

Shokupan (Controller)

import { Controller, Get, HttpCode } from 'shokupan';

@Controller('/api')
export class ExampleController {

    @HttpCode(307)
    getResource() {
        return { message: 'Temporary Redirect' };
    }
}

Express

import express from 'express';
const app = express();

app.get('/resource', (req, res) => {
    res.status(307).json({ message: 'Temporary Redirect' });
});

Nest

@Controller('api')
export class ExampleController {
  @Get('resource')
  @HttpCode(307)
  getResource() {

  }
}

Koa

import Koa from 'koa';
const app = new Koa();

app.use(async ctx => {
  if (ctx.path === '/resource' && ctx.method === 'GET') {
    ctx.status = 307;
    ctx.body = { message: 'Temporary Redirect' };
  }
});
