this doesn't work

                    params: { country: "Usa", city: "NewYork" },
                    headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==', }

@ShamSUP I don' t think the problem is the "?" since any extra question mark will be traded as a literal...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2924160/is-it-valid-to-have-more-than-one-question-mark-in-a-url — watashiSHUN, Jun 09 '16 at 23:01

It's janky to use url params on a post. Traditionally data like you have goes in the body, commonly url encoded but in any case should match the header indicating the encoding.

See: HTTP POST with URL query parameters -- good idea or not?

I think you've misunderstood how $http.post works. Try this:

 $http({params: { country: "Usa", city: "NewYork" },
        headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==' }})
 $http.post('http://mysrv:8080/calc?');

This is the correct syntax from the docs.

$http.post('/someUrl', data, config).then(successCallback, errorCallback);

So for your example:

$http.post('/someUrl', null, {
                params: { country: "Usa", city: "NewYork" },
                headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==' }
            });

But as others mentioned - since you don't post any data to the server, why use .post?

Use something like this.

$http({
    method: 'post', 
    url : "https://myserver.com/api/v1/name", 
    data : {
        fname : "Senthil",
        lname : "Kumar"
    }
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic token_hash'
    }
});
