just trying this:

var baseurl = "http://platform.fatsecret.com/rest/server.api";
var request = $http.get(baseurl);

request.success(function(html) {
    $log.log(html);
});

request.error(function(html) {
    $log.log(html);
});

but angular keeps prefixing it with http://localhost/ why does it use the relative url? how can I change it to use absolute url.

Have you tried the non-shorthand version (`$http(config)`)? – Shomz Jan 13 '15 at 21:25
no but I just tried this: var request = $http.get('http://platform.fatsecret.com/rest/server.api'); but I got a CORS error...I know how to fix CORS errors when if the server side was mine, but this is external... – user2405469 Jan 13 '15 at 21:27
Then there's pretty much nothing you can do about it from the client-side. – Shomz Jan 13 '15 at 21:29
@Shomz yes, um, I'll try some other stuff – user2405469 Jan 13 '15 at 21:30

@Shomz jsonp worked, thank you :) – user2405469 Jan 13 '15 at 21:33
How did you use JSONP here to get it to work? I'm flustered trying it myself. – Nick Res May 19 '16 at 18:45
