The HTTP Location header is used to force a web browser to reload a different web page. It is passed as part of the Server Response by a web server when the requested URL has:

  • Moved temporarily
  • Moved permanently, or
  • A new resource has been created

The HTTP Location header should be sent with a HTTP Response Code of 3xx.

While the internet standard RFC 1945 (HTTP 1.0) requires a complete URL for redirection[1][2], the most popular web browsers support the passing of a Relative URL as the value for a Location: header.[citation needed]

Contents

[edit] Example

The internet standard requires an absoluteURI token to follow a Location: header, which means it must contain a scheme (http:// or https://), web server address, and a path of the new web address.

Client request:

 GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com 

Server response:

 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://www.wikipedia.org/index.php 

[edit] Relative URL Example

This example, while incorrect based on the internet standard[3], works in all popular browsers.[citation needed]

Client request:

 GET /blog HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com 

Server response:

 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: /blog/ 

[edit] Notes

Not to be confused with JavaScript location variable.
