Angular HttpClient XML response

const headers = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'text/xml' });
headers.append('Accept', 'text/xml');
headers.append('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
this.http.get('getxmlurl', {headers: headers}).subscribe(response => {
return '1234';
});


Hi I am using Angular HttpClient to make a http get request from a spring controller which returns a XML response.

The problem I have is the response is ALWAYS NULL even though I can see the xml response from the chrome developer network tab.

I thought it might be something to do with the request header, Angular defaults to JSON however I am unable to change the request header with the code above. Can someone please advice.

Thanks
