http method type changing to post after adding RestangularProvider.setDefaultHeaders(headerObject)

[nitish24p]

So i am making client side calls to an api which has CORS enabled . When setDefaultHeaders is not set the http call which is a GET method gives the correct response , on setting the headers the call type changes to OPTION and i get a 405. Angular version is 1.5.1 , apis are on nginx 1.8.0

Code:

var app = angular.module('doctorApp', ['ui.router', 'restangular']);
app.config(function($interpolateProvider, $stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, RestangularProvider) {
RestangularProvider.addResponseInterceptor(function(data, operation, what, url, response, deferred) {
var extractedData;
// .. to look for getList operations
if (operation === "getList") {
// .. and handle the data and meta data
extractedData = data.articles;
}
return extractedData;
});

var baseUrl = DomainRedirectService.getHost('subdomainName');
RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl(baseUrl);
RestangularProvider.setDefaultHeaders(headerObj);

}

Get Method in a controller

var params = {category:'Sports' }
Restangular.all('api/articles')
.get(params)
.then(function(articles){
console.log(articles);
});

works fine when $resource or $http is used

Title says POST but not in your issue
which headers are you setting?

@nitish24p Is this still an issue?
