The http standard places responses into 5 groups: - informational (100) - success (200) - redirections (300) - client error (400) - server error (500) So a 302 response is not a successful response by definition (of course from a user point of view this is not always the case: for validation errors rails often renders an error page (so a 200 response) whereas a successful create/edit is normally a redirect.
