Angular4+ and Asp.NET Core with a redirect response

Question

I have a ASP.NET Core Api with a Post method in a Controller and an angular service that makes a call to it Till today I make navigation from within angular with the router, but I need to know if its possible and how to redirect from the server and handle this situation on angular Post method that will receive a redirect response and not some JSON object. Can the browser handle this by itself or I need to do something within the call after receiving the response?

client and server running on the same server

Controller

 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Post([FromBody]string myvalue)  

    {

    // some operations here

        string parameter = SomeFunctionReturningParameter(myvalue);

            return new RedirectResult("/component2?param=" + parameter);
        }


    }

Angular service

public callRedirection(apiEnd:, body: any): Observable<any> {

    return this.http.post(endPoint, body)
      .map((response) => {

    //how to handle redirect here  
        return response; 
      })
     .catch(error => {  console.log(error) });
  }

Any Idea???

You should be able to import the Router into your component and in the handler extract the route and navigate to the url.

import { Router } from '@angular.router';

...

constructor(private router: Router...) {
...
}

public callRedirection(apiEnd:, body: any): Observable<any> {

return this.http.post(endPoint, body)
  .map((response) => {

    //how to handle redirect here  
    this.router.navigate(response.url)

  })
 .catch(error => {  console.log(error) });

}

NOTE: I'm not 100% sure how to get the URL from the response, but I'm sure you can work it out in the debugger :-)
