WIth 307 they are supposed to repeat the CONNECT to the new address.
Which can be a problem when you are changing protocols.

303 is probably your best bet for CONNECT. Many of the browsers simply
reject anything other than successful tunnel opening. But at least 303
specifies that a GET should be used when teh redirect is ollowed. If you
luck out ad the client has a browser which does follow the redirect (one
or two did a while back) it has a chance of working. Just a chance, most
still will throw up their "friendly" alternative annoyance.
