Content-Type header not being set with Angular $http

Question

I\'m trying to make a cross-origin POST request using Angular $http with the following code.

//I\'ve tried setting and removing these http config options
$http.d         


        

Answer 1

My problem was that I was setting the data variable to an object instead of a string.

return $http({
    method: 'POST',
    //withCredentials:true,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'},
    data: {'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'},
    url: url
});

Once I changed it to data:'key1=value1&key2=value2' it worked fine. There was also a backslash in there that I had to manually put in the %5c code for.
