Exclamation mark after hash (#!) not supported in routes

[nfleury]

I'm trying to create a SEO friendly website using angular and by following Google specification for ajax based website (https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started).

They say that we should use #! in the url. I know that I also have to return a HTML snapshot of these pages and it is not the issue here.

So I just want something like that: www.mywebsite.com/something/#!/detail/1

The thing is that when using an exclamation mark in the route like that:

when('#!/detail/:id', {controller:DetailCtrl, templateUrl:'detail.html'}).
otherwise({redirectTo:'/other'})

I am always redirected to the otherwise url: "/other" .

I didn't find anything mentionning that using "#!" in url is prohibited. Therefore I just assume this is a bug ?

OK sorry, I just needed $locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');
