Angular JS $http post with get params in URL

Question

I am having trouble with posting to a URL with GET parameters using Angular's $http.

URL: http://localhost/api/?r=page/product

Now I have to post data to this URL via AJAX. When I try it with the following code it doesn't work.

$http({
    url:'api/?r=page/product',
    method:'post',
    params:{
       price:$scope.price
    },
});

Where as the same in jQuery Works flawlessly.

$.ajax({
 url:'api/?r=page/product',
 method:'post',
 data:{
    price:$scope.price
 }
});

What should I add to make it work?

Regards

could you try specifying header in the $http option headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} — Pankaj Parkar

@PankajParkar sir I suppose the default header will be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded if we donn't set any header with the request. Is it wrong sir ? — Vineet

@PankajParkar You are right its not url-encoded its json object — echo_salik

Try:

$http({
    url:'/api',
    method:'post',
    params: {
       r: 'page/product'
    },
    data:{
       price:$scope.price
    },
});

you mixed up params with data, params are the query parameters added to the url, data is the data being sent in the request

still going to generate the same url. Don't see how this changes anything

he has put the data ($scope.params) to the params, that is why the behavior is different to the one from jQuery

@alekkowalczyk Thanks it does the trick... but the data being sent is not what a normal post looks like. Its like a JSON object.

@alekkowalczyk nice catch
