According to ruby's Net::HTTPResponse docs:

xxx        HTTPResponse

    1xx        HTTPInformation
      100        HTTPContinue
      101        HTTPSwitchProtocol

    2xx        HTTPSuccess
      200        HTTPOK
      201        HTTPCreated
      202        HTTPAccepted
      203        HTTPNonAuthoritativeInformation
      204        HTTPNoContent
      205        HTTPResetContent
      206        HTTPPartialContent

    3xx        HTTPRedirection
      300        HTTPMultipleChoice
      301        HTTPMovedPermanently
      302        HTTPFound



And according to wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_302

===
The HTTP response status code 302 Found is the most common way of 
performing a redirection.[citation needed]

It is an example of industry practice contradicting the standard 
HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945), which required the client to perform 
a temporary redirect (the original describing phrase was "Moved 
Temporarily"), but popular browsers implemented it as a 303 See 
Other[citation needed], i.e. changing the request type to GET regardless 
of what it had been originally. Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 
303 and 307 to disambiguate between the two behaviours. However, the 
majority of Web applications and frameworks still use the 302 status 
code as if it were the 303.[citation needed]
