Observed message

305 Use Proxy

Why it happens

  • The server wants the client to follow a redirect or choose an alternate representation.
  • Application routing, canonical URL logic, or a proxy generated a redirection response.
  • Caching or protocol handling may affect how the redirect is interpreted and followed.

How to fix it

  1. Check the Location header and verify that the redirect target or alternate resource is correct.
  2. Review application routing, proxy rules, and canonical URL settings.
  3. Make sure the client handles the specific redirect semantics for method preservation and caching.
