The 304 not modified status code is an HTTP protocol error code that the webserver sends if a browser sends a request for a document that it already has in cache. If it doesn't have the document in cache the server sends a "200 OK" error code and then sends the document, but if it is in cache and the date and time and size of the document is the same, then it doesn't resend it, which saves on the network load. Why you are getting this 304 code on a request made by htdig, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else would have a better idea.
