The HTTP response status code 303 See Other is the correct manner in which to redirect web applications to a new URI, particularly after an HTTP POST has been performed.
This response indicates that the correct response can be found under a different URI and should be retrieved using a GET method. The specified URI is not a substitute reference for the original resource.
This status code should be used with the location header.
303 See Other is one way of responding to a request for a URI that identifies a real-world object according to Semantic Web practice (the other being the use of hash URIs)[1].
[edit] Example
Client request:
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com
Server response:
HTTP/1.1 303 See Other Location: http://example.org/
