getting empty string as error of error

[jrwpatterson]

        this.cordovaHTTP.get(url, { "test": 1 }, { "Cookie": cookieString }).then((response) => {
                console.log(response);
        }, (error) => {

            console.log("error", error);
})

when I run the code above I get an error, but the error is error.error = "". Not helpful... any suggestions?
