Angular 5 - HttpClient XML Post - Http failure during parsing

I am trying to login on a local webservice using xml:

Here is the code:

const httpOptions = {
  headers: new HttpHeaders({
    'Content-Type':  'text/xml',
    'Accept':  'text/xml',
    'Response-Type': 'text'
  })
};


login() {
    const postedData = `
        <authenticationDetail>
            <userName>myusername</userName>
            <password>mypassword</password>
        </authenticationDetail>`;
    return this.http.post('http://localhost/login.ws', postedData, httpOptions)
    .subscribe(
        result => {
            console.log('This result is' + result);
        },
        error => {
            console.log('There was an error: ', error);
        }
    );
}

The error I'm getting is:

Http failure during parsing for 'http://localhost/login.ws'

What is the problem here? How can I fix this?

Try and change your request to this: 

login(){ 
const headers = new HttpHeaders(); 
headers = headers.append('Content-Type': 'text/xml'); 
headers = headers.append('Accept', 'text/xml'); 
let body = '<authenticationDetail>' 
           '<username>Username</username>' 
           '<password>Password</password>' 
           '</authenticationDetail>'; 

return this.http.post('localhost/login.ws',body , { headers: headers, responseType: 'text' })
.subscribe(
        res => {
        parseString(res.text(), (err, result) => {
            if (err) {
                return console.log('invalid XML');
            }

            console.log(result);
        })
    },error => {
            console.log('There was an error: ', error);
        }
    );
}

Have your tried 

const httpOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({
        'Content-Type':  'text/xml',
        'Accept':  'text/xml',
        'Response-Type': 'text'
    }), 
    responseType: 'text'
};

The responseType has to be set to text not only in the headers but also in httpOptions. Otherwise Angular will parse the response of the call as JSON.

Try

const postedData = '<authenticationDetail>' +
                   '<userName>myusername</userName>' +
                   '<password>mypassword</password>' +
                   '</authenticationDetail>';

Template string adds whitespace char "new line", try the classic approach with regular strings.
