$resource in angularjs 1.3 vs 1.4 in IE 11

[Rick Schumeyer]

I have some angular code using $resource.remove that works fine in all browsers in both angular 1.3 and 1.4, and it works in IE 11 with angular 1.3 but not 1.4.

My question is, have I run into a bug in 1.4, or am I doing something incorrect?

The following call the Supervisors REST resource and deletes a Supervisor.

angular.module('testApp', ['ngResource'])

  .controller('myController', ['$scope', '$resource', function($scope, $resource) {

 

 var Supervisor = $resource('/api/supervisors/:id',{id: '@id'});

 

 $scope.doDelete = function() {

 console.log('delete');

 Supervisor.remove({id: 12});

 };

 

  }]);

IE 11 with angular 1.3.12 produces this HTTP request (which is successful): (notice the content-length)

DELETE http://localhost:8080/sx200_nossl/api/protected/supervisors/11 HTTP/1.1

IE 11 with angular 1.4.5 produces this HTTP request (which results in HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request):  (now content-length is 9)

I added a plunk that demonstrates this at:

For example, if you view the plunk in firefox vs ie, and then examine the request, you can see the difference.

This looks like a bug to me (I can reproduce it too). Have you filed a bug?
