What Is 302 Redirection .

The HTTP response status code 302 Found is the most common way of performing a redirection

please use this following code
Client request:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Server response:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://www.iana.org/domains/example/
[edit]

The 302 redirection is described in RFC2616: “The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests“.
For example, using a 302 redirection from http://www.example.com/ to http://www.example.com/special-action/index.htm, means that, although the page is temporarily redirected to the special action promotional page, the preferred address to be used in the future remains http://www.example.com/. 302 redirects should be used for temporary redirections.

When a URL returns a 302 redirect, it means that the owner of this link asks users to continue to use this address as the redirect could be modified at some later time. The owner of the page pointed to by the redirect is not necessarily the same person and might not wish that its contents is presented as belonging to another web site.
