301 vs 303
Date: 02 May 2012Tags: [ http ] [ rest ] [ see other ]
During a presentation I gave yesterday about REST, there was a discussion about redirection (more detailed, a redirection from a queue to the actual resource during asynchronous operations). During this presentation (and blog-post), I’m using a 303 HTTP status code to indicate that the operation has been completed and that the created resource can be found at another URI. So in essence, it makes sense to use a 303. At least to me, and quite possibly the rest of the world too.. But this triggered a side-discussion on which HTTP status code to use, and the more I think about it, the more complex it believe this problem actually is.
