How to read the Location header from a POST API in angularjs?

Question

My post method is something like this:

    public HttpResponseMessage AddUser(User user)
    {
        UserManager userManager = new UserManager();
        t         


        

Answer 1

Since .success() is deprecated in $http and has been replaced with .then() the update to this answer is to call header directly on the response that is injected into the promise.

$http.post('http://localhost:30028/api/values/adduser', user)
    .then(function (response) {
        alert(angular.toJson(response.headers));
        //or
        alert(response.headers('Location'));
 });
