Inject Http manually in Angular 2

Ugly solution which works in Angular 2.1

import {ReflectiveInjector} from '@angular/core';
import {Http, HttpModule} from "@angular/http";

const providers = (<any>HttpModule).decorators[0].args[0].providers;
const injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(providers);
const http = injector.get(Http);

UPDATE (final)

constructor() {
  let injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([
    Http,
    BrowserXhr,
    {provide: RequestOptions, useClass: BaseRequestOptions},
    {provide: ResponseOptions, useClass: BaseResponseOptions},
    {provide: ConnectionBackend, useClass: XHRBackend},
    {provide: XSRFStrategy, useFactory: () => new CookieXSRFStrategy()},
  ]);
  this.http = injector.get(Http);
}

ORIGINAL (RC.x)

constructor() {
  let injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([HTTP_PROVIDERS]);
  this.http = injector.get(Http);
}

This creates a new injector (independent of the one used by the rest of your Angular2 app. This isn't necessarily a problem, you just should be aware of it.
