I just ran into a fancy problem regarding getting data through the asp.net web service.
when using the jQuery ajax method, headers are set correctly and data is successfully extracted to JSON.
JSON example:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "service/TestService.asmx/GetTestData",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: callback,
error: function (err, xhr, res) {
alert(err);
}
});
Request headers for the above:
Accept application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Accept-Language en-US,en;q=0.5
Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8
Host localhost
Referer http://localhost/
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0
X-Requested-With XMLHttpRequest
Answer headers for the above:
Cache-Control private, max-age=0
Content-Length 327
Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8
Date Tue, 29 Oct 2013 17:59:56 GMT
Server Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-AspNet-Version 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By ASP.NET
it works great.
But for the AngularJS $ http method, the Content-Type value of the request header is not set, so the Content-Type value of the response header is equal by default text/xml; charset=utf-8. See an example below:
$http({
method : 'GET',
url: 'service/TestService.asmx/GetTestData',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01',
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
}
}).success(callback);
The request headers above look like this: you will see that Content-Type is missing:
Accept application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Accept-Language en-US,en;q=0.5
Host localhost
Referer http://localhost/ComponentsAndRepos/
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0
therefore, the response headers for the above are as follows:
Cache-Control private, max-age=0
Content-Encoding gzip
Content-Length 341
Content-Type text/xml; charset=utf-8

,
data:{} $http.
$http({
method : 'GET',
url: 'service/TestService.asmx/GetTestData',
data: {},
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01',
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
}
}).success(callback);
