I have an AngularJS SPA with Html5Mode enabled. I removed the hashes from my URLS and everything works great except for one issue. Our site has download links for downloading documents from the server via a HTTPGET call to a MVC controller method. Angular no longer passes the route back to the server because it thinks it needs to handle it. How do I tell Angular's routing engine to pass the GET back to the server? I have considered switching the download to a WebAPI, but I read mixed results with this approach.
Thanks!
I figured it out! :) The solution is to add target='_self' to your anchor tag. Any of the other target values work too; "_blank", "_top" and so on. I tested this in IE 9, 10; Chrome 40-43, Opera 25-29, and Safari 5.1
