Heres a list of HTTP Response Status codes that are relevant. (Whether you
use these in the http response, or embed within the content of a response,
the ideas transfer fairly well)

301 Moved Permanently (new location specified by Location: response header)
307 Temporary Redirect (temporary location specified by Location: response
header)
404 Not Found (resource might only be temporarily unavailable)
410 Gone (server never expects that resource to be available)
