Answer 1

Angular 9 version for 2020

export class ApiService {

  private headers = new HttpHeaders({
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  });

  constructor(
    private http: HttpClient) {
  }

  get(path: string, params: HttpParams = new HttpParams()): Observable<any> {
    return this.http.get(`${environment.apiUrl}${path}`, {params, headers: this.headers});
  }
}

Answer 2

You should use code like this

let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');

let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
return this.http.post(url, JSON.stringify(postdata), options).map(res => res.json());

Answer 3

Try this code:

private _getHeaders():Headers {
   let header = new Headers({
     'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   });

   return header;
}



public login(url, postdata){
   let options = new RequestOptions({
      headers: this._getHeaders()
   });
   return this.http.post(url, JSON.stringify(postdata),options).map(res => res.json());
}

Answer 4

change _http.post parameters :

login(url,postdata) {
    var headers = new Headers({'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
    return this._http.post(url,postdata,{headers:headers})
                .map(res => res.json())    
}

Referencing the Angular 2 Angular Http Guide @angular/http has been deprecated, and @angular/common/http should be the one you are using in your Angular 2 App. Because if you do not specify http headers the default request will be sent as Content-Type text/plain, How you modify the http headers is to:

import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';
.....
const req = this.http.post('/api/PostRequest/',
                            JSON.stringify(object),
                            {
                             headers:new HttpHeaders()
                             .set('Content-Type','application/json')
                             }).subscribe();
