Set headers on get request angular 2

Question

I try to set an Authorization header to a GET request to authenticate users to a rest API. I\'m using Angular 2 RC1. (I\'am a total beginner).

getTest(){
    let

I think that you need the Accept header rather because of the 406 status code...

let authToken = localStorage.getItem('auth_token');
let headers = new Headers({ 'Accept': 'application/json' });
headers.append('Authorization', `Bearer ${authToken}`);

let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
return this._http
  .get(this._url,options)
  .map(res => console.log(res));

This allows you to tell the server which content type you expect in the response...

The Content-Type header is rather to specify the type of the content you sent in the request. In your case, there is no content...
