ASP.NET 5 MVC6 Web API Post header and body

Question

It seems I can post a json object in the body with no trouble and bind it via [FromBody]. I can also post the header and bind it with [FromHeader(Name=...)]. But I can't use them together. Anyone know how or have another way of binding ether?

my Controller action method looks like this:

public JsonResult ProductQuery([FromHeader(Name = "Authorization")]string value, [FromBody] Product product)

When I do this I get the header in value but I don't get the body, I get a null in product

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the references. There is no problem with bring in the header and body as I show. The problem is Angular 2 sends the wrong content type when sending header info. — Irv Lennert, Mar 31 '16 at 16:02

The link below gave me the best hint but his solution was jQuery.

There is no problem with bringing in the header and body as I show. The problem is Angular 2 sends the wrong content type when sending header info. I had to do this in angular 2 on the client side. Note the 'Content-Type' line:

    var headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem('id_token'));
    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    return this._http.post('/api/orderProdListQuery', JSON.stringify(query), { headers: headers })
