Angular, content type is not being generated correctly when using resource

Question

I have tried the following command, using resource on Angular:

angular.module(\'appServices\', [\'ngResource\']).facto         


        

Answer 1

Looks like it's still not supported - if you have to set the headers you can use the $http service

Answer 2

Look at the angular source, line 8742 in the version 1.1.4:

  // strip content-type if data is undefined
  if (isUndefined(config.data)) {
    delete reqHeaders['Content-Type'];
  }

The Content-Type header gets removed if the request does not contain any data (a request body).

I think this is the expected behaviour since GET requests do not have a body.

A POST method in the other hand, will set the content-type as you expect, as long it has data in the request body. Try the following:

Change the method to POST

query: {method:'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}}

And call your resource action with some parameter:

Example.query(yourData)

In this case the content type is correctly set.

Edit:

It seems it also works with get, in this case the data is in the second parameter:

Example.query(yourParams, yourData)
