AngularJs $http.post() does not send data

Question

Could anyone tell me why the following statement does not send the post data to the designated url? The url is called but on the server when I print $_POST - I get an empty

Answer 1

I solved this by below codes:

Client Side (Js):

     $http({
                url: me.serverPath,
                method: 'POST',
                data: data,
                headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
            }).
                success(function (serverData) {
                    console.log("ServerData:", serverData);
    ......

notice that data is an object.

On the server (ASP.NET MVC):

[AllowCrossSiteJson]
        public string Api()
        {
            var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Request.Form[0]);
            if (data == null) return "Null Request";
            var bl = Page.Bl = new Core(this);

            return data.methodName;
        }

and 'AllowCrossSiteJsonAttribute' is needed for cross domain requests:

public class AllowCrossSiteJsonAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    {
        public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            filterContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
            base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
        }
    }

Hope this was useful.
