The below JavaScript will change $http default headers to be JSON ready for SharePoint REST APIs.  This is handy when sending GET/POST to SharePoint 2013 so we don’t need to repeat headers on each individual call.   Enjoy! 

//namespace
var namespace = namespace || {};
//NG-controller
namespace.myCtl = function ($scope, $mySvc) {
    //viewmodel
    var vm = $scope;
};
//NG-service
namespace.mySvc = function ($q, $http) {
	$http.defaults.headers.common['Accept'] = 'application/json;odata=verbose';
	
    //User Profile - me
    this.getMe = function () {
        return $http.get('/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties');
    };
    //User Profile - users
    this.getUser = function (login) {
		var url = '/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v=\'domain\\' + login + '\'';
        return $http.get(url);
    };
};
//NG-module
angular.module('myApp', [])
	.controller('myCtl', namespace.myCtl)
	.service('$mySvc', namespace.mySvc)
	.run(function () {
		//prepare GUI
	});
