Allow for temporary redirects (302 HTTP redirects instead of just 301 redirects)

[vhargrave]

In Express we're going live with more and more localized content for different locales. Go lives are done in stage by stage manner, which means we'll go live with let's say a hundred pages for a locale, and then over time go live with more and more pages. Until localized content is ready we'll often redirect the user to a backup locale. Recently we've gone live with the uk locale. That means a lot of new uk content can be found at adobe.com/uk/express/ , but for some links in the global navigation (our create pages for example), the uk links don't actually exist yet. When a user clicks on these links we redirect them to the US/Global version of that page. This is ok, but what's happening under the hood is the user is getting a 404 when clicking on those links and we redirect them when the 404 page loads. This is not great for SEO.
We could alternatively setup 301 redirects for the URLs in our redirects.xlsx file. The issue is that uk create pages will be added soon and we don't want crawlers to have registered permanent 301 redirects for these pages. Instead a temporary 302 redirect for these links would be much more appropriate.

I'm therefore requesting that we add an option in the redirects.xlsx file, which will allow for 302 redirects instead of just 301 redirects. My idea would be that a user can add a new column named to the file type and the user can give it the values of "permanent" or "temporary". By default all redirects are permanent but a temporary redirect would return a 302 response. This feature would be useful our uk pages, but also for a different release which is coming up soon, see here.

Curious to hear your thoughts!
