Handling both a default starting state and 404 errors.

[floatingpurr]

Hi there. I'd like to handle both a default state for the first page get and show a 404 error template if a url does not exist. I'm trying with

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/");

That solve my first problem but, of course, anytime an incorrect url is typed, ui-router load the starting state. Is there a way to handle those two cases separately?

We will add an API for this soon.

In the meantime you should be able to use a function for otherwise that picks the URL to redirect to. It can check the ui router globals transition history to see if it is before any transitions have started
