HI There

I am try to do a post to a webservice that requires an authorization error.

I have tried numerous things and browsed the internet but nothing I try seems to be working.

Here is the code

```auto
.service('UserSettings', ['$http', function($http){

    var api_geturl = 'myurl';
    var api_updateurl = 'myurl';
    var token = localStorage.getItem("token");
    
    let headers = new Headers();  
         headers.append('Authorization', "Bearer " + token );  
    let _body = {};
    
    var ret = {
        getUserSettings: function(){
           return $http.post(api_geturl, _body, headers).then(function(resp){
                 return resp;
            })
        },
         updateUserSettings: function(data){
           return $http.post(api_updateurl, data , headers).then(function(resp){
                 return resp;
            })
        },
        
    }
    
    return ret;

}]);

```
