Risk level

Low

Usually safe to check without specialist tools.

Urgency

Medium

Quick answer

HTTP 302 means the target resource is temporarily available at another URI, normally provided in the Location response field.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Location URLs can contain one-time tokens or personal parameters. Redact them before sharing a redirect trace.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Record the redirect chain without secrets
  • Compare the method before and after 302
  • Check scheme, host and proxy rules

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Trace redirect ownership across every layer

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Trace redirect ownership across every layer

    What they doMap which edge, proxy or application emitted each Location field and remove the first contradictory rule.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Record the redirect chain without secrets

    Tools required

    Inspect each status and Location value, redacting tokens and query data, until the final response or repeated URI appears.

    Location URLs can contain one-time tokens or personal parameters. Redact them before sharing a redirect trace.

  2. Compare the method before and after 302

    Tools required

    Confirm whether the client changed POST to GET. Use 307 when the server requires method preservation.

    Location URLs can contain one-time tokens or personal parameters. Redact them before sharing a redirect trace.

  3. Check scheme, host and proxy rules

    No special tools

    Verify that HTTPS termination, canonical-host rules and application redirects agree and do not point back to one another.

    Location URLs can contain one-time tokens or personal parameters. Redact them before sharing a redirect trace.

What it means

The client should continue using the original URI for future requests. Historical behavior allows some user agents to change POST to GET while following 302.

Warnings and stop conditions

  • Higheditorial warning

    Location URLs can contain one-time tokens or personal parameters. Redact them before sharing a redirect trace.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • The service intentionally uses a temporary redirectConfirmed

    Authentication, regional routing and temporary migrations can direct the current request to a different URI.

    Evidence: RFC 9110 section 15.4.3 - 302 Found · IANA Hypertext Transfer Protocol Status Code Registry

  • A redirect loop or method change broke the flowPossible

    Misaligned proxy and application rules can bounce requests or turn a redirected POST into GET.

Does 302 still appear after these checks?

Answer a few questions to narrow down the likely cause and the safest next action. Guidance only - it never replaces a professional.
