HTTP_STATUS_REDIRECT_METHOD
A common use is the POST/redirect/GET pattern: after accepting form data, the server returns 303 and a Location header for a resource that describes the result.
The redirect target is not a substitute for the original request body. Clients normally follow 303 with GET or HEAD, avoiding an accidental repeat of the submitted operation.
