Posting string data to Web API with AngularJS results in null

I'm using AngularJS v1.2.25. When I post a payload data (string) to my Web API via POST I always get null. I tried it with Postman (REST client), then I get a string. I was wondering whether this is a bug, because the typeof variable is string.

Here's my HTTP request (using Fiddler) from Postman:

POST http://localhost:60858/logout HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:60858

Content-Length: 90

Here's my actual HTTP request (via $http in AngularJS):

POST http://localhost:60858/logout HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:60858
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 88
Pragma: no-cache

Code where I'm using the $http method:

return $http[method](fullpath, data);

Code where I'm receiving the payload (string) in the Web API:

[Route("logout")]
[HttpPost]
public bool Logout([FromBody] string accessToken)
{
    var logout = _userService.LogUserOut(accessToken);
    return logout;
}

Adding quotes "" around the data string works.

if(typeof data === 'string') data = '"' + data + '"';
