How to subscribe plain/text response in angular

Question

My post API is returning plain lorem ipsum text, but the payload is in JSON format. my problem is I am not getting the response in the main block of a subscriber, but able to view the response in the error block. Pls, help me to get a fix.

here is my code snippet.

const path = 'sample URL';
const body = { 
   id: 'xyz',
   name: 'abc'
};
const httpOptions = {
   headers: new HttpHeaders(
        {
          'Accept': 'text/plain',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'responseType': 'text'

        })};
this.http.post(path, body, httpOptions).subscribe(
  (res)=>{ },
  err=>{ 
    console.log("===",err);
  }
);

I also tried res.text() but not worked.

There is mistake in your code. Response Type is not part of headers. Its another option like header. See code below that will work for you.

const path = 'sample URL';
const body = {
  id: 'xyz',
  name: 'abc'
};
let headers = new HttpHeaders({
    'Accept': 'text/plain',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  })
this.http.post(path, body, {headers, responseType: 'text'}).subscribe((res) => {
