What is the correct way to share the result of an Angular Http network call in RxJs 5?

Question

By using Http, we call a method that does a network call and returns an http observable:

getCustomer() {
    return

Just use this cache layer, it does everything you requires, and even manage cache for ajax requests.

http://www.ravinderpayal.com/blogs/12Jan2017-Ajax-Cache-Mangement-Angular2-Service.html

It's this much easy to use

@Component({
    selector: 'home',
    templateUrl: './html/home.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./css/home.component.css'],
})
export class HomeComponent {
    constructor(AjaxService:AjaxService){
        AjaxService.postCache("/api/home/articles").subscribe(values=>{console.log(values);this.articles=values;});
    }

    articles={1:[{data:[{title:"first",sort_text:"description"},{title:"second",sort_text:"description"}],type:"Open Source Works"}]};
}

The layer(as an inject-able angular service) is

import { Injectable }     from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Response} from '@angular/http';
import { Observable }     from 'rxjs/Observable';
import './../rxjs/operator'
@Injectable()
export class AjaxService {
    public data:Object={};
    /*
    private dataObservable:Observable;
     */
    private dataObserver:Array=[];
    private loading:Object={};
    private links:Object={};
    counter:number=-1;
    constructor (private http: Http) {
    }
    private loadPostCache(link:string){
     if(!this.loading[link]){
               this.loading[link]=true;
               this.links[link].forEach(a=>this.dataObserver[a].next(false));
               this.http.get(link)
                   .map(this.setValue)
                   .catch(this.handleError).subscribe(
                   values => {
                       this.data[link] = values;
                       delete this.loading[link];
                       this.links[link].forEach(a=>this.dataObserver[a].next(false));
                   },
                   error => {
                       delete this.loading[link];
                   }
               );
           }
    }

    private setValue(res: Response) {
        return res.json() || { };
    }

    private handleError (error: Response | any) {
        // In a real world app, we might use a remote logging infrastructure
        let errMsg: string;
        if (error instanceof Response) {
            const body = error.json() || '';
            const err = body.error || JSON.stringify(body);
            errMsg = `${error.status} - ${error.statusText || ''} ${err}`;
        } else {
            errMsg = error.message ? error.message : error.toString();
        }
        console.error(errMsg);
        return Observable.throw(errMsg);
    }

    postCache(link:string): Observable
