Adding a HTTP header to the Angular HttpClient doesn't send the header, why?

Question

Here is my code:

import { HttpClient, HttpErrorResponse, HttpHeaders } from \'@angular/common/http\';

Answer 1

In the manual (https://angular.io/guide/http) I read: The HttpHeaders class is immutable, so every set() returns a new instance and applies the changes.

The following code works for me with angular-4:

 return this.http.get(url, {headers: new HttpHeaders().set('UserEmail', email ) });
