null return value from json request

[arieljake]

I am returning the string "null" in a response with content-type "json" but I see that angular is returning the "null" string as the data from the request.

The JSON_START reg exp does not account for the possibility of this. Is this a bug?

For reference:

var JSON_START = /^\s*(\[|\{[^\{])/,

      JSON_END = /[\}\]]\s*$/;

Hmmm, I think we should check the headers and do JSON.parse() if
Content-Type is application/json, rather than checking what is the
string look like...

In meantime, you can override the default transformResponse function like this:

$http.defaults.transformResponse = [function(data) {
// replace XSFR protection token
data = data.replace(/^\)\]\}',?\n/, '');

return header('Content-Type') === 'application/json' ?
JSON.parse(data) : data;
}];

Sorry, I missed header argument:

$httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse = [function(data, header) {

// replace XSFR protection token
data = data.replace(/^\)\]\}',?\n/, '');

return header('Content-Type') === 'application/json' ?
JSON.parse(data) : data;
}];
