Reloading the page gives wrong GET request with AngularJS HTML5 mode

Question

I want to enable HTML5 mode for my app. I have put the following code for the configuration, as shown here:

return app.config([\'$routeProvider\',\'$location         


        

Answer 1

We had a server redirect in Express:

app.get('*', function(req, res){
    res.render('index');
});

and we were still getting page-refresh issues, even after we added the .

Solution: make sure you're using real links in you page to navigate; don't type in the route in the URL or you'll get a page-refresh. (silly mistake, I know)

:-P
