I have a rest endpoint that returns a list on a GET call. I also have a POST endpoint to add new items and a DELETE to remove them. This works in Firefox and Chrome, and the
As answered above, you can use http request interceptor to modify or set a new header on the request. Below is a much simpler way of setting headers on http request interceptor for Later angular versions(Angular 4+). This approach would only set or update a certain request header. This is to avoid removing or overriding some important headers like the authorization header.
// cache-interceptor.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
HttpInterceptor,
HttpRequest,
HttpHandler,
} from '@angular/common/http';
@Injectable()
export class CacheInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
intercept(req: HttpRequest, next: HttpHandler) {
const httpRequest = req.clone({
headers: req.headers
.set('Cache-Control', 'no-cache')
.set('Pragma', 'no-cache')
.set('Expires', 'Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT')
})
return next.handle(httpRequest)
}
}
// app.module.ts
import { HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http'
import { CacheInterceptor } from './cache-interceptor.service';
// on providers
providers: [{ provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: CacheInterceptor, multi: true }]
