♻️ refactor: Change c.Redirect() default status #3415
Conversation
Closes gofiber#3405 In some browsers, redirect status 302 Found sometimes is used to change the HTTP verb of the response from what the user set to what was used in the request. Changing to 303 SeeOther in the default works more like expected: it defaults to GET and can be overriden by the user.

WalkthroughThe changes update the default HTTP status code for redirects in the Fiber framework from 302 (Found) to 303 (See Other). This update is reflected in the documentation, code comments, struct field defaults, and all related unit and benchmark tests. The method signatures and core logic remain unchanged, with only the default status code and associated documentation/comments being modified to use 303 instead of 302. Changes

- [nitpick] Consider using the defined StatusSeeOther constant instead of the literal 303 in the test assertions to improve consistency with the rest of the codebase.

28-34:⚠️ Potential issueInconsistent default status code: comment and code mismatch.
The comment specifies "Default: 303 See Other", but
ConfigDefault.StatusCoderemains set tofiber.StatusFound(302). This discrepancy needs to be resolved by updating the default value tofiber.StatusSeeOther(303).Suggested diff:
var ConfigDefault = Config{ - StatusCode: fiber.StatusFound, + StatusCode: fiber.StatusSeeOther, }

Learning: Detailed usage examples and explanations for new methods like `RemoveRoute` and `RemoveRouteByName` are documented in `docs/api/app.md`, so it's unnecessary to duplicate them in `docs/whats_new.md`.
