Inject Http manually in Angular 4

I want to manually bootstrap an Angular 4 app (created with CLI). In main.ts I am doing this:

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

http.get('assets/configs/configuration.json')
  .map((res: Response) => {
    return res.json();
  }).subscribe((config: Configuration) => {
  configuration = config;
  console.log(JSON.stringify(configuration));
  platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
});

I seem to get a valid Http instance but when I use it (http.get) I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getCookie' of null
    at CookieXSRFStrategy.webpackJsonp.../../../http/@angular/http.es5.js.CookieXSRFStrategy.configureRequest (vendor.bundle.js:141626)

My http object looks like this:
