307 Temporary Redirect | HTTP Status Code

Explanation

The 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code indicates that the target resource resides temporarily under a different URI and the user agent MUST NOT change the request method if it performs an automatic redirection to that URI. This differs from 302 in that it guarantees the request method will not be changed when redirecting.

For example, a POST request should remain a POST request after the redirect, which is not guaranteed with a 302 response due to historical implementations that incorrectly changed POST to GET.

The server SHOULD generate a Location header field in the response containing a URI reference for the different URI. The user agent MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. The server's response payload usually contains a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the different URI.
