I was setting up a redirect at work, and looking at response codes. I found there were two different codes for “permanent redirect”, and so I went looking for the difference.

Subtle, but one allows for clients to change from POST to GET method. One does not. Mine would always be get anyway, so it makes little difference. I went with 308.

This blogpost has a nice flowchart for choosing the most appropriate response code.

This New York Times article about David Bowie’s archive is great. I hope the show comes to Sydney.
