The HTTP 308
Permanent Redirect
redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Location
headers. A browser redirects to this page, and search engines update their links to the resource (In SEO-speak, it is said that the link-juice is sent to the new URL).
The request method and the body will not be altered, whereas 301
may incorrectly sometimes be changed to a GET
method.
Some Web applications may use the 308 Permanent Redirect
in a non-standard way and for other purposes. For example, Google Drive uses a 308 Resume Incomplete
response to indicate to the client when an incomplete upload stalled.[1]
