get value of http.get angular js when response is text

Question

I have a angular js controller with a http get. I need get response value of http. In headers I send:

-H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic YGDJSDJH4564363YTESNSBS4="

The response is a simple text: eg. 'va'

my code:

$http({
            
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'some_url',
  headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic '+tenant_auth }
  }).then(function successCallback(response) {
            console.log(response);
  }, function errorCallback(response) {
            $scope.page_error = response;
            $timeout(function () {
                $scope.page_error = '';
            }, 10000);
        });

The request return ok, but the error is when I try to print the response.

Since the content type is application/json angular will try to parse it. Try sending text/plain instead.

In addition to other answers, You always able to use $.ajax or jQuery

In angular the default is JSON. in jQuery the default is text

$.ajax({
  url: 'some_url',
  headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic '+tenant_auth }
  }).then(function successCallback(data) {
            console.log(data);
            $scope.$apply() // Do not forgot to do this every time you change scope outside of angular functions
  }, function errorCallback(data) {
            $scope.page_error = data;
            $timeout(function () {
                $scope.page_error = '';
                $scope.$apply() // Do not forgot to do this when you use jQuery ajax.
            }, 10000);
            $scope.$apply()
        });
