I am working on an application using angularjs 1.6 and Java 8. My goal is to send POST data to another application and navigate to the URL that this external application determines.
The purpose of my application is to transmit data about a citizen who wants to schedule a service appointment. The other application takes this data, populates a form with all the necessary fields, and displays it to the user as requested.
I have experimented with various methods to achieve this, such as using xmlHttpRequest. However, I encountered an issue where, despite receiving a status code of 302 (redirect), the user's page was not actually redirected.
One possible solution I have attempted:
$http({
method: "POST",
headers: {
...some headers...
},
data : someData,
url: someExternalUrl
})
.then(function(response, headers) {
// Retrieve the 'Location' header from the response
var externalUrl = headers("Location");
$window.location.href = externalUrl;
},
function(response) {
// Handle failure
});
Another attempt:
var url = someUrl;
var params = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
http.open('POST', url, true);
// Include relevant header information in the request
//http.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
//Additional headers
http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Execute a function when the state changes.
if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
alert(http.responseText);
}
}
http.send(params);
How can I successfully achieve this?
Thank you!
