i'm trying to send to a ws a post request using some parameters.

in Ajax i do:

$.post("http://myWS",{name:"xxx",surname:"yyy"},function(response){
   console.log(response);
});

this generate that payload:

{name:"xx",surname:"yyy"}

In AngularJS i do:

return $http({
    method: 'POST',
    async : true,
    cache : false,
    url: "http://myWS",
    data: {name:"xxx",surname:"yyy"},
});

And this generates that paylaod:

{"name":"xxx","surname":"yyy"}

As you can see this payload differs from ajax one.

I tried to add header to $http request:

headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

but results is the same.

what could be the problem?? thanks!

The angular.js request payload seems to be valid JSON, in contrast to the payload of the jQuery Ajax call. –  TheHippo Mar 4 '14 at 10:59

valid JSON is the ajax one not the angularjs one –  JackTurky Mar 4 '14 at 11:01

I solved setting headers and params in this way:

return $http({
    method: 'POST',
    async : true,
    cache : false,
    url: "http://myWS",
    data: $.param({name:"xxx",surname:"yyy"}),
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
});
