Comment (by Otto42):

 303 is the correct way to do this, I say commit it.

 For reference, the 300 codes work like this (under HTTP 1.1) :
  * 300 Multiple Choices (like if you offer different languages.. not used
 much)
  * 301 Moved Permanently (obvious)
  * 302 Found (temporary redirect - deprecated in favor of 303 and 307)
  * 303 See Other (redirection to be used after a successful POST, user
 agent should do a GET on the redirected URL)
  * 304 Not Modified (user agent did a conditional GET but the document was
 not changed since the time given)
  * 305 Use Proxy (the URL must be accessed through a proxy, the Location:
 gives the proxy that must be used)
  * 306 Unused
  * 307 Temporary Redirect (a real temporary redirection, a user agent
 doing a POST should do a repost to the new URL.. often causes the browser
 to ask the user for confirmation to do that)
