Update angular-core.HttpSupport to document setting responseType for http service requests
There's no way (that I know of) to use the http service to retrieve binary data. Typically, this is accomplished by setting the responseType property on dom.HttpRequest to "arraybuffer". The http service does not expose the responseType property.
It actually does --- you can put responseType in your HTTP configuration object (and $httpBackend will try to apply it to the XHR object)
Ah, good to know! Thanks @caitp!
you know what, I totally assumed this was the angularJS repo and not angular.dart. I have no idea if that works here, hah :) Need to read my email more closely!
It does work. But you would need to read the code (or try it) to know that it works.
Changing title to make it clear that this is a doc bug. https://docs.angulardart.org/#angular/angular-core.Http needs to be updated.
