The HTTP status messages in the 300 series are redirection responses. They indicate that the resource requested has moved or in some way been redirected to a new location.

303 See Other:

The response to the requested resource can be found at a different URI, but that response should not be cached by the user agent.
304 Not Modified:

If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server should respond with this status code.
305 Use Proxy:

The requested resource must be accessed by the proxy indicated in the Location: resource.
306:
