Hybrid application: Change HTTP user agent header with AngularJS

I'm writing an hybrid app with Cordova and Ionic. My problem is that I want to access a server with an http request and I need to change the user agent of the device to pass a secret key.

 $http({
        method: 'GET',
        url: 'http://ift.tt/1vlvr8Y',
        headers: {
            'User-Agent' : 'app_name/2.0 (iOS 8.1) secret=75456789087654', 
            }
     }).success(function(data){
        alert(data.content);
    }).error(function(){
        alert("error");
        });

But when I look at the logs of the server the user agent didn't change:

"GET /service HTTP/1.1" - "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome Safari" "http://ift.tt/1vlvr8Y"...
