Restangular not setting headers on post

Question

I am trying to set the header for a single post request using restangular but the request is being sent as plain text instead of json. I have read the documentation here as wel

Answer 1

You can do:

const headers = { headers: { 'Content-Type':'application/json' } };

RestServ.wandem.withHttpConfig(headers).post(pip)

Answer 2

After groping around the web, I found that restangular sends form data to the server in json format by default. I was misguided by the developer tools from chrome. In order to disect http requests I recommend fiddler If one wants to format the header in restangular being sent as a request from the form you can do the following:

//From the previous example....
//Assuming restangular did not not send form data in json format by default

    $scope.getWanPip = function(pip){

        RestServ.wandem.post(pip, {},{}, {'Content-Type':'application/json'}).then(function(res){
            console.log(res)      
        }, function(err){
            console.log('Error!!!\n', err);
        })

Note the two empty curly braces instead of one... I can't still perform the post but this is because the data is being sent as part of the url instead of separately. This calls for another question...

Answer 3

Don't pass two empty objects, try passing:

.post(pip, undefined, undefined, {'Content-Type':'application/json'})

Or even .customPOST() instead of .post().
