“对应当前请求的响应可以在另一个URI上被找到，而且客户端应当采用GET的方式访问那个资源。这个方法的存在主要是为了允许由脚本激活的POST请求输出重定向到一个新的资源。这个新的URI不是原始资源的替代引用。同时，303响应禁止被缓存。当然，第二个请求（重定向）可能被缓存。“ — wikipedia

“The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. This method exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the user agent to a selected resource. The new URI is not a substitute reference for the originally requested resource. The 303 response MUST NOT be cached, but the response to the second (redirected) request might be cacheable.
The different URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).
Note: Many pre-HTTP/1.1 user agents do not understand the 303 status. When interoperability with such clients is a concern, the 302 status code may be used instead, since most user agents react to a 302 response as described here for 303.“ — ietf
