I need to pass an array of object from my Angular application to a .Net web service with Nancy framework.

I tried this :

function TestCtrl($scope, $http){
    $scope.postTest = function(){

        var data = [obj1, obj2, obj3];

        $http({
            url: 'myURL',
            method: "POST",
            data: data,
            headers: {
                     'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
            }
        }).success(function(data){
            alert("done");
        });
    }
}

But server send 500 Internal server error.
I don't know why it doesn't work. I'm not an expert web service expert but I think it's a serialization problem.

Can someone help me?

According to this post, you're right, this is about serialization. Angular doesn't automatic serialize the data for you, you need to parse the data before sending it:

...

$http({
  url: 'myURL',
  method: "POST",
  data: $.param(data),
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
  }
})...

If you don't use jQuery, you'll need to roll your own $.parse. There is a snippet here or you could adapt jQuery implementation.

Thank for your answer, but $.param doesn't work, an error says it's not defined –  axvo Apr 29 '13 at 12:00

This is a jQuery call. AngularJs doesn't provide a solution out of the box :(. Here is something about it. If you don't use jQuery, here is a snippet to achieve the encoding. I'll update the answer. –  CaioToOn Apr 29 '13 at 12:07
    
it works fine for a simple object, but with an array of objects, it doesn't work. However, I think now it's a server-side problem... –  axvo Apr 29 '13 at 14:08
