How to call REST service with Basic Authentication in Angularjs 2.0?

Question

I have java REST services and consumer in Angularjs 1.3. Services are JSON based and expect BASIC authentication (username-password). In AgJs 1.3, I used Base64 factory code (found on google) for creating basic authentication token from username and password and able to consume services SUCCESSFULLY.

I read HTTP class in AgJs 2.0 documentation but I didn't find any information about basic authentication.

Could anybody please provide sample code to consume REST services in Angularjs 2.0 using BASIC authentication?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards!

My AgJs 1.3 code:

var url = "http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/data/" + number;

$http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + Base64.encode('username' + ':' + 'password');
$http.defaults.headers.common['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';

$http({ method: 'GET', url: url }).
        success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
           alert(data);
        }).
        error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            alert("error: " + data);
        });

I have just make a post from angular2 to a server that has Basic auth and this works:

    sendAuthentification(credentials: string): Observable<any> {
          var headers = new Headers();
          headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' +  btoa('user:pass'));

          return this.http.get("http://ip/yourpost", headers});
   }

Hope this answer your question.
