!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] The [HTTP Status Code] [Found] is a common way of performing [URL redirection].

An [{$pagename}] will additionally provide a [URL] in the location [HTTP Header Field]. The [user-agent] (e.g. a web browser) is invited by a response with this code to make a second, otherwise identical, request to the new [URL] specified in the location field. The HTTP/1.0 specification ([RFC 1945]) initially defined this code, and gives it the description phrase "Moved Temporarily".

Many web browsers implemented this code in a manner that violated this standard, changing the request type of the new request to [HTTP GET], regardless of the type employed in the original request (e.g. [HTTP POST]).[1] For this reason, HTTP/1.1 ([RFC 2616]) added the new status codes [HTTP 303] and [HTTP 307] to disambiguate between the two behaviours, with [HTTP 303] mandating the change of request type to [HTTP GET], and [HTTP 307] preserving the request type as originally sent. Despite the greater clarity provided by this disambiguation, the [{$pagename}] code is still employed in web frameworks to preserve compatibility with browsers that do not implement the HTTP/1.1 specification.[2]

As a consequence, the update of [RFC 2616] changes the definition to allow user agents to rewrite [HTTP POST] to [HTTP GET].[3]
