urllib.request does not yet support HTTP response status code 308, as defined in IETF RFC 7538, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7538.

308 (permanent redirect) is the 307-variant (temporary redirect) of 301 (moved permanently).

Hi, wanted to ping those watching this issue - there is a complete PR on GitHub, and all contributors have signed the CLA, but the bot hasn't updated the CLA status on the PR so it's still shown as blocking. Would appreciate if someone could manually fix the status and help get this merged.

Senthil, we can't be backporting new APIs to bugfix versions. I took care of updating tests and docs (versionadded), thanks for the code review.

Thanks for the fix, Jochem! ✨ 🍰 ✨
