$http({                 url: 'my happy url',                 method: "post",                 data: objdata,                 headers: {                     'content-type': 'text/html'                 }             }).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {                 console.log(headers());             }).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {                 console.log("error");             }); 

my problem not data returned. sure missing simple. help.

in above code data parameter empty , expect find string "test" in data parameter.

instead of httpresponsemessage, can try use ihttpactionresult? sample code below.

public ihttpactionresult postsample() {     return content(httpstatuscode.ok, "test string"); }
