Keeping this in consideration, how do you get a 302 response?

302 is a response indicating change of resource location - "Found". The url where the resource should be now located should be in the response 'Location' header. The "jump" should be done by the requesting client (make a new request to the resource url in the response Location header field).

Similarly, how does a 302 redirect work? Whereas a 301 redirect is a permanent relocation of your URL, a 302 redirect is a temporary change that redirects both users and search engines to the desired new location for a limited amount of time, until the redirect is removed.

Additionally, what causes a 302 redirect?

This status occurs when a resource or page you're attempting to load has been temporarily moved to a different location -- via a 302 redirect. As opposed to 301 redirects -- which are used to permanently direct users from one location to another -- 302 redirects are temporary.

What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirect?

To a user they seem to work the same way, but they aren't the same as far as search engines are concerned. Search engines sense the different types of redirects, and handle them differently. A 301 redirect means that the page has permanently moved to a new location. A 302 redirect means that the move is only temporary.
