    The HTTP 302 status code indicates that the requested resource has been temporarily moved to a different URL. This is not an error but a redirection response. When a browser receives a 302 response, it automatically redirects the user to the new URL specified in the Location header.

    Example

    GET /profile HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.example.com

    HTTP/1.1 302 Found
    Location: https://www.example.com/new-profile-url
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    Content-Length: 0

    Causes of HTTP 302 Error

    Temporary Redirection

    A 302 status code is used for temporary redirections. The server informs the client that the resource is temporarily available at a different URL.

    Server-Side Redirects

    In web applications, server-side redirects using frameworks like ASP.NET often result in a 302 status code.

    HTTPS Redirection

    Accessing an HTTPS URL using HTTP can trigger a 302 redirect to switch to the secure version.

    Handling HTTP 302 Error

    Client-Side Handling

    Browsers handle 302 redirects automatically by requesting the new URL provided in the Location header.

    What is a 302 redirect?
    Web servers use this status code to direct traffic during website maintenance, A/B testing, or temporary promotions. When users encounter a 302 redirect, their browsers automatically follow the new path to reach the temporary destination. This process happens quickly and often needs to be noticed by most website visitors.
