Angular 2 unauthorized response(401)

Question

I am writing an application that require user authentication to access certain functionalities. When authenticated user login, the server generate JSON Web Token (JWT). i saved the generated token in localstorage. To make post, delete and update certain data from database, credential is required in the header . I used angular io documentation to set up request header. However, i got unauthorized response(401) when i make post request. Here is the post request and the header

createItem(name: string, text: string) {

  const body = JSON.stringify({noteData: {name: name, text: text}});
  const headers = new Headers();
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
  headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/text' );
  headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + token);
  const options    = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
    return this._http.post(this.createNote, body, options)
                     .map(this.extractData);

}

     private extractData(res: Response) {
         return res.text() ? res.json() : {};
   }

// here is the request header error response

Add a space after Bearer:

createItem(name: string, text: string) {

  const body = JSON.stringify({noteData: {name: name, text: text}});
  const headers = new Headers();
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
  headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/text' );
  headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + token); //<-- added space after 'Bearer'
  const options    = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
    return this._http.post(this.createNote, body, options)
                     .map(this.extractData);
}
