Question
In the code below, the AngularJS $http
method calls the URL, and submits the
xsrf object as a "Request Payload" (as described in the Chrome debugger
network tab). The jQuery $.ajax
method does the same call, but submits xsrf
as "Form Data".
How can I make AngularJS submit xsrf as form data instead of a request payload?
var url = 'http://somewhere.com/';
var xsrf = {fkey: 'xsrf key'};
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
data: xsrf
}).success(function () {});
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: xsrf,
dataType: 'json',
success: function() {}
});
Answer
The following line needs to be added to the $http object that is passed:
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'}
And the data passed should be converted to a URL-encoded string:
> $.param({fkey: "key"})
'fkey=key'
So you have something like:
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
data: $.param({fkey: "key"}),
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'}
})
