title: http failure during parsing for string in Angular
body: <p>My Web API method returns string and I am trying to use that string in Angular application. I use swagger and have no issues from Web API side. It is showing string in Swagger</p>
  
  <pre><code> [HttpPut]
      [Route("UpdateUserStatus")]
      [ProducesResponseType(typeof(string), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
      public async Task&lt;IActionResult&gt; UpdateUserStatus(User user)
      {
          string userUpdated = await _userService.UpdateUserStatus(user);
  
          return Ok(userUpdated );
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to access this string in angular. Service returns like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>public UpdateUserStatus(user: User): Observable&lt;any&gt; {
     const url = this._url + 'UpdateUserStatus';
     return this._httpClient.put&lt;any&gt;(url, user);
  }
  
   this._service
    .UpdateUserStatus(this.User)
    .subscribe((response: any) =&gt; {
      this._notificationService.info(
        response, //this is not working
        'User updated'
      );
    }, (error) =&gt; {
      this._rapNotificationService.error(
        'Update Failed. ',
        'Failed'
      );
    });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is giving "http failure during parsing for string" error.</p>
