The HTTP response status code 301 Moved Permanently is used for permanent redirection.

This status code should be used with the location header. RFC 2616 states that:

• If a client has link-editing capabilities, it should update all references to the Request URI.
• The response is cachable.
• Unless if the request method was HEAD, the entity should contain a small hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).
• If the 301 status code is received after GET or HEAD request, the client should ask the user before redirecting.

[edit] Example

GET /index.php http/1.1
Host: www.example.com

301 Moved Permanently
Location: /login.php
