Ajax and 302

Did  you ever wonder what happens if use request a resource via Ajax ( XmlHttpRequest or ActivexObject) for which server sends back 302 ( browser redirect ) ?  Does the xmlhttp.status==302 below will ever be true ?
---------------------------------
function test302() {
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==302)
    {
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML="resource moved."
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","URL",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
------------------------
The answer is NO. Because browser handles it and never passes it to JavaScript.
