Answer 1

As of now, AngularJS doesn't support regular expressions in routes.

Check these links: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/918, https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/972

Answer 2

As of angular-1.2 you can do this:

when("/!/:resourceUrl*")

http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.0/docs/api/ngRoute.$routeProvider

In particular the documentation gives the following example:

For example, routes like /color/:color/largecode/:largecode*\/edit will match /color/brown/largecode /code/with/slashs/edit and extract:

• color: brown
• largecode: code/with/slashs
