3xx Redirection

HTTP 303 See Other

The server is redirecting the client to a different resource using a GET request, typically after a POST operation. This is commonly used in the Post/Redirect/Get pattern to prevent form resubmission.

Common Causes

  • Post/Redirect/Get pattern after form submission
  • Redirecting to a status or confirmation page after POST
  • API redirecting to a result resource after processing

How to Fix

  1. 1Follow the redirect with a GET request (not POST)
  2. 2No fix needed — this is standard form submission behavior
  3. 3Ensure the target URL returns the expected confirmation page

Example
