302 Redirect
A forward to a new URL from an old URL for temporary purposes. They differ from a 301 as they are used as temporary redirects. They are typically used for A/B testing and maintaining good user experience during downtime of webpages.
Example
An e-commerce site takes its checkout page down for maintenance and 302-redirects users to a "we'll be right back" page, then removes the redirect once checkout is back online.
