Manually convert AngularJS $http params object to URL parameters

Question

Angular's $http service can automatically convert an object into URL params. I.e. in following code params will be converted to date=2014-12-11T18:00:00.000Z&name=MyName

$http({
     method: "GET",
     url: url,
     params: {date: new Date(), name: 'MyName'}
})

Question: how I can manually convert my object into url parameters?

I found that I can do it using the $param method of JQuery, but the problem is that when using JQuery it converts dates in worng format: date=Fri+Dec+12+2014+00%3A00%3A00+GMT%2B0600+(Ekaterinburg+Standard+Time), but I want to send dates in Angular's format:

date=2014-12-11T18:00:00.000Z

In other words I need something like this:

var params = {date: new Date(), name: 'MyName'};
var paramsString = angular.toUrlParams(params); // should output `date=2014-12-11T18:00:00.000Z&name=MyName`

@im1dermike I tried only `$param` function of JQuery, it works, but dates converted in wrong format. Look at updated answer — WelcomeTo, Dec 12 '14 at 13:39

Convert the dates into that string format before passing them to jQuery.

It doesn't do anything specific to the dates under-the-hood, this is simply the default way to cast a date object into a string as per the JS spec.
