The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Status Code 308 (Permanent Redirect)' (draft-reschke-http-status-308-07.txt) as an Experimental RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Peter Saint-Andre. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-reschke-http-status-308/ Technical Summary This document specifies the additional HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Status Code 308 (Permanent Redirect). This fills in a missing piece of HTTP redirect behavior by allowing for a permanent redirect that is guaranteed to not have a POST method changed to a GET. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of a working group, however it has been discussed on the HTTP mailing list where ongoing HTTPbis work is carried out. Document Quality This document has been discussed and reviewed on the HTTP mailing list (<ietf-http-wg@w3.org>) mailing list. Informal last calls were carried out on that mailing list as well as the IETF Apps Discuss list (<apps-discuss@ietf.org>). This specification simply registers a new HTTP status code that is a variant of existing well-defined codes, and as such is straightforward.
