how can i convert my curl command to angularjs http request

Question

Need to convert below curl command into angular http request. command looks similar to below command.

" curl -X POST --data 'username=myusername&password=mypassword' -i https://myurl.com/j_spring_security_check "

In https what I suppose to use, GET or POST. Can any one help in this.

It could be a service that has a postMethod method that takes two arguments username and password just like this :

angular.factory('myService', ['$http', function($http){
    function postMethod(username, password){
        var request = {
            method:'POST',
            url: 'https://myurl.com/j_spring_security_check ',
            data: {
                username:username,
                password:password
            }
        }
        return $http(request);
    }

    return {
        postMethod:postMethod
    }
]);

Then you can use your service as following :

angular.module('myapp').controller('MainCtrl', ['myService', function(myService){
    myService.postMethod('foo', 'bar').then(function(response){
        // Do a UI change ?
    });
}]);
