How do I get the HTTP response status code in AngularJS 1.2

Question

Using ngResource in AngularJS 1.2rc(x), how do I get the status code now?

RestAPI.save({resource}, {data}, function( response, responseHeaders )

I had faced the similar problem.I looked into the angular lib and added a few lines to have status returned in the response itself.In this file,find where promise is being returned.

Replace code block starting with

var promise = $http(httpConfig).then(function(response)

with the following

var promise = $http(httpConfig).then(function(response) {
            var data = response.data,
                promise = value.$promise;

            if (data) {
              // Need to convert action.isArray to boolean in case it is undefined
              // jshint -W018
              if ( angular.isArray(data) !== (!!action.isArray) ) {
                throw $resourceMinErr('badcfg', 'Error in resource configuration. Expected ' +
                  'response to contain an {0} but got an {1}',
                  action.isArray?'array':'object', angular.isArray(data)?'array':'object');
              }
              // jshint +W018
              if (action.isArray) {
                value.length = 0;
                forEach(data, function(item) {
                  value.push(new Resource(item));
                });
              } else {
                copy(data, value);
                value.$promise = promise;
              }
            }

            value.status = response.status;
            value.$resolved = true;

            response.resource = value;

            return response;
          }, function(response) {
            value.status = response.status;
            value.$resolved = true;

            (error||noop)(response);

            return $q.reject(response);
          });

or you can add this line

value.status = response.status;

and then access status in code like reponse.status.Though,this is kind of hack but worked for me.I also had to make changes in the minified version.
