[b]"How does the HTTP POST Location header work for redirecting responses?"[/b] or [b]"When should you use the HTT

Hey folks,

I’ve been scratching my head over the http post location header lately. Like, when you send a POST request and the server responds with a Location header, how exactly does that redirect work?

I thought it was supposed to auto-redirect the client, but sometimes it doesn’t kick in. Am I missing something?

Also, when *should* you even use the http post location header in API responses? Is it only for 201 Created, or can it work with other status codes too?

And why doesn’t it always trigger a redirect? Is it up to the client to handle it, or is there a server-side trick I’m not getting?

Would love to hear your experiences or any gotchas you’ve run into!

Cheers!
