3xx Redirection
HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect
The resource is temporarily at the URL in the Location header, and the client must repeat the request there with the same method and body: a POST stays a POST. Browsers also show “307 Internal Redirect” in their developer tools when they upgrade a site to HTTPS on their own because of HSTS; that one never came from the server.
Defined in RFC 9110, section 15.4.8(opens in a new tab)
//_01 Uptime checks
Is 307 up or down for a monitor?
Uptimecheck HTTP monitor
Default settings
Up, as long as the page it leads to is. A monitor follows redirects by default, up to 10, and judges the final answer. With Follow redirects turned off, the 307 itself is judged, and it is within the default 200–399 range.

It follows up to 5 redirects and judges the final answer: anything below 500 counts as the site answering.
//_02 Causes and fixes
Why you see 307 and what to do
Typical causes
- Temporary redirects of forms or API calls, and the browser’s own HTTPS upgrade for HSTS sites.
If you run the site
- Use it instead of 302 when the request has a body that must arrive at the new URL.
If you’re a visitor
- Nothing to do.
Know the moment your site stops answering as it should
An Uptimecheck monitor requests your page as often as every minute, checks the status code against the ones you expect, confirms a failure with a second check and then alerts you.

Does an uptime monitor count 307 as down?
Up, as long as the page it leads to is. A monitor follows redirects by default, up to 10, and judges the final answer. With Follow redirects turned off, the 307 itself is judged, and it is within the default 200–399 range.
Downtime is obsolete.
