I'm not so sure that's the only difference... Nice link by the way. :)

10.3.3 302 Found

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

vs.

10.3.4 303 See Other

The response to the request can be found under a different URI and
SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource.

The response code of 303 seems more in line with typical usage, i.e.
redirecting to a login screen for protected content, but that's just
my opinion and a relatively uninformed one at that, in regards to HTTP
response codes.

Should it be 302 rather than 303? Opinions anyone? :)
