AngularJS $http callback not firing

Question

$scope.submitNewUser = function() { 
            $http({
                method: 'POST',
                url: 'api/user/signup',
                data: {'user': $scope.user},
                headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},                 
            }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                console.log('hello');
                alert('boo');
            });
        }

I have the above and when its ran the POST works but I'm unable to get the .success() part to work, there is no callback and the console.log() and alert() do not fire.

Thanks

try adding the error handler

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