Answer 1

Observables are lazy so you need to subscribe on them to make the request execute even if you don't want to handle the response.

Something like that:

save(model) {
  var uri = this._baseUri + "/api/contact/AddContact";
  let md = JSON.stringify(model);

  this.http.post(uri,
    JSON.stringify(md),
    {
      headers: new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      })
    })
    .map(res => res.json()).subscribe();
  }

Hope it helps you, Thierry
