Read response headers from API response - Angular

Question

I'm triggering a HTTP request and I'm getting a valid response from it. The response also has a header X-Token that I wish to read. I'm trying the below code to read the headers, however, I get null as a result

this.currentlyExecuting.request = this.http.request(reqParams.type, reqParams.url, {
    body: reqParams.body,
    responseType: 'json',
    observe: 'response'
}).subscribe(
    (_response: any) => {
        // Also tried _response.headers.init();
        const header = _response.headers.get('X-Token');
        console.log(header);
        onComplete(_response.body);
     },
    _error => {
        onComplete({
            code: -1,
            message: Constants.WEBSERVICE_INTERNET_NOT_CONNNECTED
        });
    }
);

The response of the API, when checked in Chrome inspect, shows the header is present.

You can get data from post response Headers in this way (Angular 6):

import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders, HttpResponse } from '@angular/common/http';

const httpOptions = {
  headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }),
  observe: 'response' as 'response'
};

this.http.post(link,body,httpOptions).subscribe((res: HttpResponse<any>) => {
  console.log(res.headers.get('token-key-name'));
})
