Revision 1105357 of 308 Permanent Redirect

<div>{{HTTPSidebar}}</div>

<p>The HTTP <code><strong>308</strong></code><strong><code> Permanent Redirect</code></strong> redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been definitively moved to the URL given by the {{HTTPHeader("Location")}} headers. Browser redirects to this page, and search engines updates their link to the resource (In SEO-speak, it is said that the link-juice is sent to the new URL).</p>

<p>The request method and the body will not be altered, whereas {{HTTPStatus("301")}} may incorrectly sometimes be changed to a {{HTTPHeader("GET")}} method.</p>

<div class="note">
<p>Some Web applications may use the <code>308 Permanent Redirect</code> in a non-standard way and for other purposes. For example Google Drive uses a <code>308 Resume Incomplete</code> response to indicate to the client when an incomplete upload stalled.<sup><a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/manage-uploads#resumable">[1]</a></sup></p>
