Angular2 http get request results into 404

Question

Trying to run a simple http get call in Angular 2 + TypeScript given on https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/toh-pt6.html

here: https://angular.io/resources/live-examples/toh-6/ts/plnkr.html

private heroesUrl = 'http://www.mocky.io/v2/575ed63f1100004f1b2992f4';  // URL to web api

  constructor(private http: Http) { }

  getHeroes(): Promise<Hero[]> {
    this.http.get(this.heroesUrl)
               .toPromise()
               .then(response => response.json().data)
               .catch(this.handleError);
  }

I also tried my local server url such as http://localhost:5000/api

But nothing works and the console shows

VM2510 hero.service.ts!transpiled:66 An error occurred Response {_body: Object, status: 404, ok: false, statusText: "Not Found", headers: Headers…}

complete exception

Any help would be much appreciated.

I just got to know from other forums and examples that we should use jsonp to access crossdomain rests. e.g. http://plnkr.co/edit/0dFCzRdmBwcT99WR5Lbd?p=preview

@Component

import {JSONP_PROVIDERS}  from 'angular2/http';
...
..
 providers:[JSONP_PROVIDERS]

In Service:

import {Jsonp, URLSearchParams} from 'angular2/http';
