302 Found

The resource is at another URL for now, given in Location. A browser may change a POST to a GET when it follows; 307 does not allow that.

What to do

The resource is at the Location URL for now, so keep using the original one. A POST may become a GET when it is followed. Use 307 to keep the method, or 303 to turn it into a GET on purpose.
