Description
Describe the problem
The current implementation throws an error if the statuscode passed to redirect is smaller than 300 or bigger than 399 which is already a good indicator what kind of status codes are supported.
But actually the range is way smaller: from 300 to 308
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#name-redirection-3xx
With all other status codes the browser will not know what to do.
Another smaller issue is, that the TypeScript type is set to number, which is correct, but it could be narrowed down to the actual values that are supported.
Background: a while ago someone threw a 401 redirect in our codebase and we didn't spot the issue immediately.
Describe the proposed solution
Narrowing down the amount of status code allowed for the redirect helper function to the official ones ranging from 300 to 308
- for runtime code
- and also at the TypeScript level
While testing a few things it seems that 305 and 306 are ignored by firefox and chrome. 300 gets ignored by chrome. So maybe also removing status codes that will not work makes sense? (306 is officialy marked as "unused")
Opening this issue for discussion reasons. I can also create the PR if it helps you :)
