Hi there, I am wondering why the default redirect class in the common middleware is a 301 Moved Permanently response. https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/middleware/common.py#L32 https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/http/response.py#L476
I just got the issue of a POST request being changed as a GET request by the redirect and found it quite confusing. It seems that a 308 Permanent Redirect (by the way the name of the redirect subclass is now a bit confusing) is now widely supported and would be a better option. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7538 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/308 +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | | Permanent | Temporary | +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | Allows changing the request method from | 301 | 302 | | POST to GET | | | | Does not allow changing the request | 308 | 307 | | method from POST to GET | | | +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ What do you think?
