Question 13

A 3xx response carries Retry-After. What does that field mean there?

  1. The minimum time the user agent is asked to wait before issuing the redirected requestCorrect answer
  2. How long the redirect itself remains valid before it must be re-fetched
  3. Nothing; Retry-After is only defined for 503 and is ignored on 3xx
  4. The maximum time the user agent may delay before the redirect target expires

Explanation

Retry-After is defined for more than 503: with any 3xx it sets a minimum delay before the redirected request is issued. With 503 it instead estimates how long the service will be unavailable.
