A 308 is generally preferred since the exact same request will be performed for the new location versus a 301 request in which the request could be altered.

Can you tell us more about why you want to use a 301 instead of a 308 for HTTP to HTTPS redirects? Maybe there is already a solution available that will work for your situation.

SEO agencies might push that.

I have the same problem and it doesn't matter to me whether it's 301 or 308, but Google Analytics will only work to recognize a new domain name if the old one sends a 301 to the new one. And, when I configure my redirect on Vercel, it gives a choice of 4 different 30x codes -- I choose 301, but in fact you are sending a 308 instead -- why? I've attached the error from Google:

Hey there. You can find a more detailed explanation of why 308 is used in #3972 (comment)

Yes, but there's still the question of how to deal with Google Search's requirement that a domain move happen with a 301.

[amyegan]

When redirecting a custom domain to a new domain, you can set the status code in project settings. If you use the redirects property in vercel.json, you can use "permanent": true or "statusCode": 301 to give it a permanent redirect status code. You can also set the status code on dynamic redirects from serverless functions and edge functions.

The 308 status code is used for http to https redirects for the reason listed above #1286 (comment) and explained in #3972 (comment)
