HTTP 205 Reset Content vs 307 Temporary Redirect
HTTP 205 (Reset Content) is a 2xx Success response, while 307 (Temporary Redirect) is a 3xx Redirection response. 205 indicates that the server fulfilled the request and the client should reset the document view (e.g., clear a form). In contrast, 307 means that the resource temporarily resides at a different URL. Unlike 302, this guarantees the HTTP method will NOT be changed.
