http fetch gives different status than network?

I must be doing something wrong, but I am trying to ping a service until I get a 200 response. When I look in the network tab in my browser (chrome), I get a 304:

However, when I print out the following code:

const s1 = await fetch(`./${cluster}/api`)
const s2 = await fetch(`./${cluster}/dashboard`)
console.log(s1.status, s2.status)

I get:

enter image description here

It's hard to read sorry, but it says 200 200.

Why do I get a 200 when I check the status, but a 304 in the network tab?

As you can see from here (scroll down to "redirect):

Normally, fetch transparently follows HTTP-redirects, like 301, 302 etc.

fetch follows HTTP redirects, so you are getting a 304, fetch will then load the page from cache, since a 304 Not Modified means that the cached page is still valid.

Also work reading https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Redirections#special_redirections
