IE9: Redirecting to / with html5Mode(true) on sample app

[klebba]

I notice the demonstration of ui-router does not work with html5mode(true) -- is it a known issue that it does not work with pushState?

I have an angular application at a URL like: http://mywebsite.com/admin with routes like http://mywebsite.com/admin/users where /users is defined as a state:

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);

[...]

$stateProvider
    .state('admin', {
        url: '/admin'
    })
    .state('admin.users', {
        url: '/users'
    });

When the page loads in IE9 the browser flashes the /admin/index.html page contents and then immediately redirects to http://mywebsite.com/

I am aware of a problem with redirection in IE9, thought it seems unrelated:
angular/angular.js#1417

Either way I suppose the only way to make the ui-router work with applications that don't live at the domain root is to turn off html5mode. Can you confirm this is true?

Thanks!

ui-router simply uses $location, so html5mode should just work, but any problems $location has with html5mode on IE9 will of course affect you as well.

Ok, good to know. Thanks
