ng-header-reuse-interceptor.js

function Interceptor()
{
  var headers;
  
  this.request = function(request) {
    if (! headers) {
      headers = request.headers;
    } 
    
    request = angular.copy(request);
    request.headers = angular.copy(headers);
    
    return request;
  }
}

ng-header-reuse-interceptor.test.js

describe("Interceptor.request", function() {
  var SUT;
  
  beforeEach(function(){
    SUT = new Interceptor;
  });
  
  it("should return the same header on subsequent requests", function(){
    var firstRequest = {
      headers: {
        foo: 'bar'
      }
    };
    var secondRequest = {};
    
    SUT.request(firstRequest);
    var interceptedSecondRequest = SUT.request(secondRequest);
    
    expect(interceptedSecondRequest.headers).toEqual(firstRequest.headers);
  });
  
  it("should not modify the requests but copy them", function(){
    var request = {};
    
    var interceptedRequest =  SUT.request(request);
    
    expect(interceptedRequest).not.toBe(request);
  });
});

package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "^1.5.0",
    "jasmine-core": "^2.4.1",
    "karma": "^0.13.21",
    "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.7",
    "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^1.0.0",
    "phantomjs-prebuilt": "^2.1.4"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "karma start"
  }
}

Here's a function I wrote for setting headers:

`return {

request: function (package_headers) {
  package_headers.headers['access-token'] = access_token;
  package_headers.headers['token-type'] =  token_type;
  package_headers.headers['client'] =  client;
  package_headers.headers['expiry'] =  expiry;
  package_headers.headers['uid'] = uid;
  return package_headers;
}

};`

@salusinarduis i think you should read https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#interceptors first of all

@salusinarduis i've added some boilerplate to let you run the tests and play with it

just clone the gist and run "npm install && npm test"

os.config(function($httpProvider){
$httpProvider

.interceptors.push(function($q, ipCookie) {
  return {
     'request': function(config) {
   // same as above
        },

'response': function(response) {
// same as above
}
}

});
