Adding a port to $http

[Michael Bielski]

I swear I've seen this somewhere before but my Google-Fu isn't awake this morning. When I look at the docs for $http (http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http) I don't see anything about how to handle a port other than the default. Am I able to do that with this?

var myPort = "8081";

var MC = $http({method:"GET", url: "myurl:port", port:myPort});

Hi Michael!

I'm not sure, but you might be confusing $http usage with the
$resource usage. I mean, your syntax looks like you would be using
$resource but you are actually using $http.

I don't think you should have any problems with the port using $http,
just specify it as part of the URL. There are effectively some issues
with the port with $resource.

Cheers,
Pawel

Thanks Pawel! I apparently need more sleep before I try to do this stuff!

Ok, this issue has arisen again, but in a somewhat different form. It appears that $http is having problems with URLs that have ports in them. Specifically:

//no port in url

$http({ method: "GET", url: "/v1/rest/services" });

//headers passed

http://localhost/v1/rest/services

GET /v1/rest/services HTTP/1.1

Host: localhost

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*

Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

DNT: 1

Connection: keep-alive

X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest

Referer: http://localhost/tester.html

//port in url

$http({ method: "GET", url: "/v1/rest/services:8081" });

//headers passed

http://localhost:8081/v1/rest/services

OPTIONS /v1/rest/services HTTP/1.1

Host: localhost:8081

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

DNT: 1

Connection: keep-alive

Origin: http://localhost

Access-Control-Request-Method: GET

Access-Control-Request-Headers: auth-session,x-requested-with

This is a problem. The method is not being used and the Accept header is not being passed. I need a work-around. Anybody have any ideas?

I'm surpised it works at all with the port number at the end of the URL, instead of directly after the host name. Try:

$http.get("http://localhost:8081/v1/rest/services")

Or if your app page is also being served from localhost:8081, then you can just use:

$http.get("/v1/rest/services")

which is more generic (don't have to change it when serving app from elsewhere).

The same origin policy should always be in the back of our minds, should it not ?

Anecdote: I remember in 1997 making a Java applet for an insurance company, that shaped it's field according to parameters and accepted data entry for insurance quotes (cars, homes) and posted that to a SMTP service so that someone could contact the applicant later with a quoted.  Ahhh, them's the days.  My next step was ColdFusion for the same ... curiously underlining why I'm such a fan of AngularJS now.

It appears that you found a typo in what I copied/pasted into my post. Rest assured that the port number was in the right place (see the results for proof.) More specifically, the service that I am needing to reach listens on a specific port, and that port is not 80. There are other things on 80 that I interact with, and they work fine.
