Send HTTP.post() with XML?

Question

Is there any way to use HTTP.post(url, body, headers) of ionic-native with a XML body?

post() there it says it needs an object (JSON) but my webservice needs an XML request.

Is there maybe something like an xml object?

You can specify Accept and Content-type header property and set to application/xml. Check this already answered question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2965587/valid-content-type-for-xml-html-and-xhtml-documents — Fabrizio Stellato, Nov 08 '17 at 13:50
It says it needs an object. It does not say it needs JSON. If it needed JSON then it would expect a string. — Quentin, Nov 08 '17 at 13:50
[There's no such thing as a "JSON Object"](http://benalman.com/news/2010/03/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-json/) — Quentin, Nov 08 '17 at 13:57

Did you try to set content-type to text/xml like in the following example?

let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'text/xml');

The question is not about the `XMLHttpRequest` object – Quentin Nov 08 '17 at 13:59
I am sorry. If you want wo use the http client you only need to set content-type to text/xml – Tobias Etter Nov 08 '17 at 14:03
Really? So why did the OP say they got an error when they tried to pass a string of XML as the body? – Quentin Nov 08 '17 at 14:03
I will try this as soon as possible – felix9607 Nov 08 '17 at 14:06
