angular.js - Do the $http method and $httpProvider in angularjs have the same meaning?

Question

Do the $http method and $httpProvider in angularjs have the same meaning?
When I read a book, it was said that $http method is used to interact with the server, but $httpProvider is used. Is this a concept?

Answer 1

Use $httpProvider to change the default behavior of the $http service.

$httpProvider is used to set the configuration of $http requests, such as disabling cache globally, adding headers, etc.

Answer 2

Configure $http, that is, you need to use $httpProvider in the config function
