HTTP 202 Accepted vs 307 Temporary Redirect
HTTP 202 (Accepted) is a 2xx Success response, while 307 (Temporary Redirect) is a 3xx Redirection response. 202 indicates that the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon. In contrast, 307 means that the resource temporarily resides at a different URL. Unlike 302, this guarantees the HTTP method will NOT be changed.
