HTTP 303 — See Other
3xx Redirection
What it means
Redirects the client to fetch the result with GET, regardless of the original method. The classic POST-redirect-GET pattern.
What to do about it
Use it after a successful form POST so that a page refresh does not resubmit the form.
Where it sits
303 belongs to the 3xx family: Further action is needed to complete the request — usually following a redirect.
