HTTP 307 redirect - supported by most browsers with IE6?

Question

So, in 2010, Matt Cutts at Google showed in an interview , as well as the follow-up email after the interview, that Google would subtract page rank if you use 301 redirects from HTTP domain status to domain. In other words, if you have example.com and buy example.com, which redirects HTTP status 301 to the .com examples, Google acknowledged that they usually subtract the PR for this.

Good, so that remains the status of HTTP 302 and status 307 of HTTP redirects. They say on wikipedia that 307 is a new way, and that the status of HTTP 302 was a “bastard” and not quite the right way to do a redirect. Problem: most browsers because IE6 supports HTTP status 307? See, I no longer have IE6 browser for testing.

So the question is: if we need to start using the 307 HTTP status redirection, will it work in browsers released with IE6, as well as in IE6 browser?

Answer 1

I decided to use 302 redirection, and here's why:

• Google, of course, cannot fine the entire network for not using the 307 redirect, because hardly anyone knows about it. Most products that you can download and install still use 301 or 302 redirects. Or, if they just use the header ("Location: x"), the default is 302 redirects.
• Google acknowledged (in the sources that I outlined in the original post) that 301 redirects are penalized if you use them to redirect domain to domain.
• If I want to get the most acclaim in browsers, the HTTP 302 status code would be preferable, at least for now, rather than HTTP 307. HTTP 307 is the future, however, according to what I read. However, HTML5 is still in the future, and since 2012 it is not ready.
