Drive Batch API returning text content in addition to json-parsable stuff

My batch process (the creation of some folders) goes just fine, but the response i'm getting back isn't the clean JSON I was expecting but it has plain text headers interspersed. How do I get rid of them or parse this correctly?
--batch__AAPXnCR1-5Q
Content-Type: application/http
Content-ID: response-1
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

Expires: Wed, 02 Oct 2019 22:44:16 GMT

{
"kind": "drive#file",
"id": "1pznPt",
"name": "SF1-B1",
"mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.folder"
}
--batch_z3tbQ5Q
I just need to be able to extract the id nd nams of these folders after they are created.

How about this answer?
Unfortunately, the response value cannot be directly parsed using the built-in function of Google Apps Script and Javascript. So in my case, I parse the response value using the following script. I think that there are several methods for this situation. So please think of this as just one of several answers.
Sample script 1:
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options).getContentText(); // Here, the batch request is run.
var temp = response.split("--batch");
var parsedValue = temp.slice(1, temp.length - 1).map(function(e){return JSON.parse(e.match(/{[\S\s]+}/g)[0])});
Sample script 2:
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options).getContentText(); // Here, the batch request is run.
var parsedValue = response.match(/{[\s\S]+?}/g).map(function(e) {return JSON.parse(e)});
If this was not the direction you want, I apologize.

Get data with $resource from Flask API in AngularjJS

I'm using a Flask rest api where I've a method that I call from AngularJS with $resource factory.
I'm using now data to try it, this is the simplified code in the server:
return jsonify({'teacher': 'Tom'})
And in AngularJS, in a controller where I want to get data:
var teacher = $resource('http://localhost:8001/entities/teacher/:id');
teacher.get({id: 1}).$promise.then(function(teacher) {
// success
$scope.teacher = teacher;
}, function(errResponse) {
// fail
console.log('fail')
console.log(errResponse)
});
And this is the log in web browser console:
fail
Object { data: null, status: -1, headers: fd/<(), config: Object, statusText: "" }
But however I can see the request in network console with data in response with 200 status code, because of this I think that I don't know how read this data from $resource response, I've search info about this but I don't know how if I can see the data the resource give mi a fail error.
Any idea?
I know that I should to have this code in a service in another file, it's only a sample to find the solution.
Thanks!
Update:
I think that the problem is in the headers that I received from the server. If I try to use $http with a url that I found as example this work perfect, but when I try the same with my own server this fail even though I can see the response (and it's fine in the network console and it's fine with curl test) I think that the problem is in the headers, maybe $http or $resource needs a specific headers. I' ve updated the original question, I hope that someone can help me. I'm sure that the response is application/json.
This is the test url:
http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users
and the header that is returned is:

json default charset API and browser display

My api returns following json.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:14:32 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
Content-Length: 431
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/json
{
"member": [
{
"city": "Li\u00e8ge",
"country": "Belgi\u00eb",
}
]
}
following the specs ( JSON specs )
JSON text SHALL be encoded in Unicode. The default encoding is UTF-8.
So the Contect-Type is not specifying the charset
But chrome or IE10 browsers are not displaying the è ( \u00e8 ) and ë ( \u00eb ) correct.
Is this because chrome or IE10 have a different default charset . I need to give the API to a customer and he will also see the strings "Belgi\u00eb"and "Li\u00e8ge". Am i violating the specs somehow or am i doing it right and is the browser beeing stupid?

You can specify the charset if you want:
contentType : 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
And also use utf8_decode (or similar) at the other end just ot make sure.
Works here.

How to get final destination URL from AJAX?

When I do an XMLHttpRequest, I always get redirected automatically to the URL (presumably by the headers of the response). For example, if I query "http://www.stackoverflow.com" I will be redirected to "http://stackoverflow.com".
How can I get that final URL? (http://stackoverflow.com/ in the example)
I checked in the response headers but I cannot seem to find it. (I just used the GET/POST method not HEAD).

Look for a location header in the response.
In the example you gave, accessing www.stackoverflow.com and being redirected to stackoverflow.com here is most definatly a Location header being used.
[trcjr#rigel ~]$ curl -I http://www.stackoverflow.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Length: 148
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Location: http://stackoverflow.com/
Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2011 21:47:17 GMT
[trcjr#rigel ~]$

Using jQuery (this is for current page url) :
$(document).ready(function () {
var href = window.location.href.toString();
});
EDIT : For, response page final url, pass jqXHR to ajaxComplete & then read the header.

Ajax response is gzip compressed - Prototype, Firefox can't handle it

I'm trying to query a web service (with JavaScript, prototype). The server responds with XML, but compresses it; headers are set appropriately.
Under Safari 4, everything is fine. The response is decompressed and JavaScript can deal with the data.
Under Firefox 3.5.8, no data is returned to JavaScript!
Code:
var req = new Ajax.Request(this.url, {
asynchronous: false,
contentType: 'text/xml',
method: 'post',
postBody: xmlString,
onSuccess: function(t) {
// debug, place response into textarea to show
$('responseText').value = t.responseText;
}
});
This is the response, as I trace it on the network:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK.
Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:10:51 GMT.
Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny6 with Suhosin-Patch.
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny6.
Vary: Accept-Encoding.
Content-Encoding: gzip.
Content-Length: 2104.
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100.
Connection: Keep-Alive.
Content-Type: text/xml.
.
............]s......W`.3...H&A.$.Q.^[.:....... (and so on ...)
Any idea why this is happening? What can I do about it?
I tried setting the 'Accept-Encoding' header in the request, can't get it working properly. Besides, the response can be rather large, meaning: it's good that it is compressed by the server.
