Angular $http transformResponse and cache

Question

Is the response from an Angular $http request cached before or after any transformResponse functions have been applied?

Use case: My client's REST API returns a lot of metadata (most of which I don't need) so I don't want to cache the entire response. I'd like to apply a specific transformResponse for each different API end-point that copies only the fields I need into a new object\array and dispose of the original. I would then like the new object to automatically be cached. This should be nice and easy if the return data from transformResponse is cached.

See docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#caching ~ "When the cache is enabled, $http stores the response from the server in the specified cache" — Phil

Apparently is cached before transforming, as you can see in $http#717 sendReq is called before transformResponse, and in $http#958 you can see sendReq does the caching

Maybe you can be sure by doing a test
