302 Found ​

Meaning ​

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. The client should use the URI from the response for this request, but future requests can still use the original URI.

When to Use ​

When redirecting to a different URI temporarily (for example, during maintenance or as part of a temporary redirect logic).

Example ​

A web page temporarily moved to a maintenance page returns 302 Found with a Location header to the temporary page, while the original URL remains the same for future requests.

When Not to Use ​

Do not use for permanent redirection (use 301 or 308) or when the resource actually has multiple representations (not a redirect scenario).
