Debugging Post Request with Chrome Dev Tools

Question

I am trying to use Chrome Dev for debugging the following Angular post request :

$http.post("http://picjboss.puma.lan:8880/fluxpousse/api/flow/createOrUpdateHeader", flowHeader)

After running the statement with right-click / evaluate, I can see the post in the network panel with a pending state. How can I get the result or "commit" the request and leave easily this "pending" state from the dev console ?

I am not yet very familiar with JS callbacks, some code is expected. Thanks.

EDIT

I have tried to run from the console :

$scope.$apply(function(){$http.post("http://picjboss.puma.lan:8880/fluxpousse/api/flow/createOrUpdateHeader", flowHeader).success(function(data){console.log("error "+data)}).error(function(data){console.log("error "+data)})})

It returns : undefined

EDIT

The error message returned is : JBoss Web/2.1.3.GA - Rapport d'erreur

Etat HTTP 400 -

Rapport d'�tat Rapport d'�tat

La requ�te envoy�e par le client �tait syntaxiquement incorrecte (). 客户端请求客户端语法错误（）。

EDIT The post I am trying to solve generate an HTTP 400. Here is the result :

Answer 1

Each $http request should have success and error callback like this:

$http({method: 'POST', url: '/someUrl'}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
  // this callback will be called asynchronously
  // when the response is available
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
});

Inside these methods you can debug in Dev Tools.

And if your request keeps pending, it might be something wrong with server side.

Note that if you don't have breakpoints making $http available (for example using Angular 1.2.6 in the chrome devtools) you can use:

angular.element(document).injector()
 .get('$http')({method: 'POST', url: '/someUrl'})
    .success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
       console.log('$http-success:',arguments);
       debugger;
    })
    .error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
       console.log('$http-error:',arguments);
       debugger;
    });
