POST request to Geoprocessing Service

Question

I created a Geoprocessing Service that creates a new user on my portal. However, one of the parameters is the password the user would like to use. My server enforces https and so does my web application; however, when consuming the GP service via the ESRI Javascript API's execute or submitJob functions, the request is submitted via GET rather than POST.

My question: Is there a way to enforce POST using the API? If not, am I able to consume the GP service via an ajax POST request?

I figured it out. Here is my AngularJS implementation. // dependancy injection: $q, $http, $httpParamSerializer function portalSignup() { var deferred = $q.defer(); var requestConfig = { method: 'POST', url: 'https:////rest/services//execute', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }, transformRequest: $httpParamSerializer, data: { f: 'json', Username: 'First.Name', Password: 'ValidPassword', FullName: 'First Last', Email: 'first.last@subdomain.domain.com' } }; $http(requestConfig) .success(function (response) { console.log('Success: Portal Created User:', response); deferred.resolve(response); }).error(function (err) { console.log('Error: Portal Failed to Create User', err); deferred.reject(err); }); return deferred.promise; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
