ionic $http post not sending data

Question

I am trying to post data to a web service but the data is missing.

Here is the code

        var product = {
          CategoryID: 'test'
        };

        $http({
          url: URL,
          method: "POST",
          data: product,
          headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
        })
        .success(function(data,status,headers,config) {
          console.log(data);
        })
        .error(function(data,status,headers,config) {
          console.log(data);
        });

The POST data on the server is empty.

I have set up Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Access-Control-Allow-MethodAccess-Control-Allow-Headerss and Access-Control-Allow-Headers on the server.

This API works fine when tested through Postman

You your browser debugger to see what is actually sent and compare that to what is sent using Postman. There is obviously a difference somewhere but you will have to be the one that finds it. — Igor, Nov 11 '16 at 17:21
@Igor I have and there does not appear to be a difference. The ionic app even has a Content-Length that is non zero. — SunMan, Nov 11 '16 at 17:35
can you tell us more about how you retrieve data on the server side ? — erwan, Nov 11 '16 at 17:42

For your issue try a look at this one How do I POST urlencoded form data with $http in AngularJS? - you probably need to transform your request in order to sent in via $http service with the required content type.
