HTTP status codes | Redirection Responses

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2020

HTTP status codes are a conversation between your browser and the site server. The server gives responses to the browser’s request in the form of a three-digit code known as HTTP status codes. The HTTP status codes are categorized into five sections which are listed below.

Informational responses (100–199)
Successful responses (200–299)
Redirects (300–399)
Client errors (400–499)
Server errors (500–599)

Redirection Responses:

300 Multiple Choice: It is a link list. This request can have maximum five possible responses. The user can choose one of the links and go to the location.
Status:
```
300 Multiple Choice
```
301 Moved Permanently: The 301 moved permanently means that the requested resource has permanently been moved to a new URL. The new URL is given in the response.
Status:
```
301 Moved Permanently
```
302 Found: The 302 Found means that the requested resource has been moved temporarily to a new URL. The same URL should be used by visitors in a future request.
Status:
```
302 Found
```
303 See Other: The requested resource can be found under an alternate URL. This is sent by the server to direct the visitor to another URL to get the requested page.
