302 Object Moved response

[Zester]

Hi,

Sorry for this multi-posts; I don't know where the setting if it exists so
I'm posting this to multiple groups.

I was told that Response.Redirect would generate the http 302 Object Moved
status in the response; but I couldn't get it to work. I created a project
from scratch with just 2 pages and it keeps giving me 302 Object Found.

Upon button click on one page (POST), I redirect to another; here is the
simple code:
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect( "Destination.aspx" ); // I have tried to use the other
overloading method with the boolean.
}

I know that if I add this line, it will give me what I want.
Response.Status = "302 Object Moved";

Now, is there a way to make sure *all* POST's redirect in my app returns
"302 Object Moved" instead of the default "302 Object Found"?

thank you very much!

You would probably need to create an ihttpmodule that intercepts the
requests, checks for a post event and terminates the request after
generating a 302 using reponse.end in the module

You could check if the request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" to
determine if its a POST request rather than a GET request. Its probably the
most reliable method I can think of..

Hi,

Why does it matter what the textual reason for the status code is? The
user-agent should really rely on the HTTP status code...

According to the HTTP v1.1 specification 302 is "Found"
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10

In HTTP v1.0 was 302 "Temporarily Moved".
