Current behavior

class RESTClient {
   constructor(@Inject(Http) protected http: Http){
   }
   //Some code
}

@Injectable()
@BaseUrl("https://api.github.com/")
export class ReposService extends RESTClient{
  apiUrl: string = "https://api.github.com/";

  constructor(private _http: Http){
    super(_http)
  }

  @GET("orgs/angular/repos")
  list(){
    return null;
  }
}

Above code is throwing following error:

error TS2345: Argument of type 'Http' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Http'.
  Property '_backend' is protected but type 'Http' is not a class derived from 'Http'.

Expected behavior

Reproduction of the problem

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Please tell us about your environment:

macOS Sierra, atom, npm

• Angular version: 2.0.0

• Browser: [all | Chrome XX | Firefox XX | IE XX | Safari XX | Mobile Chrome XX | Android X.X Web Browser | iOS XX Safari | iOS XX UIWebView | iOS XX WKWebView ]

• Language: TypeScript 1.8.10

• Node (for AoT issues): node --version = 6.3.0

@vicb This is still an issue. As you wrote above Http is imported from a different location:

probably HTTP is imported from different location ?

Indeed, when using npm link your dependency tree looks like this:

Project
+-- @angular/http@2.1.1
`-- myModule
 `-- @angular/http@2.1.1  extraneous

A solution would be to add @angular/http as peerDependency in myModule. But then when developing myModule IntelliSense would complain about not finding @angular/http.

Is there no workaround for this? I have created this for reproduction.

Edit: Sorry i used a different account back then - I am also st3h3n.
