Agreed. 302 should be the way to go. It covers all the other bases of
things which might need re-writing to match the URL.

The default path '/' is still your problem here though. At least one of
them is supposed to always be sent in HTTP URL.

To handle that in your pattern check for an optional / at the end of the
incoming request. Include it in the part to be replaced.

I say optional / because Some browsers are broken and neglect to send them.
