__NOTOC__
The [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt HTTP/1.1 specification] in RFC 2616 defines the [http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.4 response code Â303 See OtherÂ] in section 10.3.4 as a type of redirection. The meaning of 303 is basically, ÂUse the GET method to retrieve this other resource that is not necessarily a replacement for, version of, or representation of the requested resource.Â

The Â303Â response code, usable with both a [[SlashURI]] and a [[HashURI]], is useful for avoiding [[OverloadedUri]] and [[SemanticBlur]].

If you use the [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache HTTP server], this type of redirection is easy to configure. The [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect Apache documentation of the ÂRedirectÂ directive] is good, but misstates the semantics of the Â303Â response code.
