301 redirect?

Let me tell you about all redirect...

301 = Permanent redirect
"It's not here any more, I moved it there, get it from there."
The proper HTTP response is to request the document from there.

302 = Undefined redirect
"Uh, it's not here, I moved it there, not sure why, not sure for how long, not sure if I will move it back."
The proper HTTP response is to continue requesting the document from here.

307 = Temporary redirect
"It's not here right now, I moved it there, but it will be back, so keep checking for it."
The proper HTTP response is to continue requesting the document from here.

If you are moving a page temporarily, I would suggest using the proper status code when you have the ability.

Similarly:

404 = Not Found
"Oops! No file. Looking here on the desk but don't see it, maybe I put it somewhere else. I'll let you know."
The proper HTTP response is to continue requesting the document.

410 = Gone
"Stop asking, I threw it away."
The proper HTTP response is to stop requesting the document.
