You cannot. XMLHttpRequest handles 3xx responses transparently, so the data you get is that of the original (cached) response.

Thanks for the reply, clear answer, but do u also know an easy way so i still get my 304 from somewhere with a built in Angular function? Or am i approaching this the wrong way? – lstprgrmr Jul 31 '14 at 14:35
The browser doesn't expose the information to JavaScript at all. You cannot get that information. (You *might* be able to figure out something equivalent by examining the Last-Modified header). – Quentin Jul 31 '14 at 14:37
