Redirection

300 Multiple Choices

Multiple options are available for the requested resource; the client should choose one.

Description

300 Multiple Choices indicates that the requested resource has multiple representations available (e.g. different formats, languages, or codecs) and the server is not automatically redirecting to one. The response may include a list of choices with their URLs.

This code is rarely used in practice. Content negotiation via Accept headers or automatic redirects are the preferred approach in modern web development.

Common Causes

  • Multiple language versions without automatic language detection
  • Multiple file format options (JSON, XML, CSV)
  • Video content available in different resolutions or codecs

How to Fix

  • Prefer automatic content negotiation using Accept, Accept-Language headers
  • Use 301/302 to redirect to the best representation automatically
  • If offering a choice UI, serve it as a 200 page, not a 300
