how to set custom headers with a $resource action?

Question

with $http, we can do this:

var config = { headers: { \'something\': \'anything\' } };          
$http.get(\'url/to/json\', config)
    .success(function()

To use "Content-Type" header you may need to specify a data body at least for versions around 1.4.7+ due to $http deleting headers without a data body that are === 'content-type'. See #10255 in 1.4.7/angular.js

I just set "data: false" to spoof it, without specifying a data body:

$resource('url/to/json', {}, {
    get: {
        method: 'GET',
        data: false,
        headers: { 'something': 'anything' }
    }
});
