Answer 1

To get rid of error:

Type '"text"' is not assignable to type '"json"'.

Use

responseType: 'text' as 'json'

import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';
.....
 return this.http
        .post(
            this.baseUrl + '/Tickets/getTicket',
            JSON.stringify(value),
        { headers, responseType: 'text' as 'json' }
        )
        .map(res => {
            return res;
        })
        .catch(this.handleError);
