AngularJS post request. Character changed from initial value

Question

I have this very strange problem. I have a very long string as a token for an app. When i`m doing the http post request, the string changes.

From the ending of "Vow== 256220" it is changing to "Vow: = 256220" and i do not understand why.

Here is the code if helps:

var request = $http({
    method: "post",
    url: urlWS,
    data: {token: token},0

    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
});
request.success(function (data) {
    alert(data);
});

Following code working for me.

 $http({
        method: "post",
        url: urlWS,
        data: 'token='+encodeURIComponent("Vow== 256220"),
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
    });
    request.success(function (data) {
        alert(data);
    });

May be above solution solve your problem.

You will have to configure $httpProvider in your main module config function. This is been done with transformRequest method by firstly adding the default header you have added and then transforming the request.

Add the following code to you main config function module:

$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';
// post headers
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8';
$httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest = [function(data) {
    return angular.isObject(data) && String(data) !== '[object File]' ? $.param(data) : data;
}];

I hope it helps ;)

I am using an app builder bassed on ionic framework and angular. it seems that get requests work, but this one does not... i tried changing to content-type application/json, and it did solve the problem with the characters changing, but the WS I am calling is throwing the same error: "Missing parameter token"
