(Broken as cordova/phonegap app) When running through file protocol router does not remove three slashes and incorrectly route matches

[jdinard]

The router can't handle anything run over a local file protocol.

It interprets the third slash after file:// as a route.

So if you create an app and try to run it from file:///C:/myapp.html

It thinks you are attempting to access the route /C:/myapp.html and throws an error saying

"Warning: Location "/C:/myapp.html" does not match any routes.

This is incorrect behavior and breaks the router on stuff like phonegap.

I had this same issue. I got around it by using hash history, instead of push state.

import createHistory from 'history/lib/createHashHistory'
export default createHistory()

This is still an issue.
When I build my react router project and open the index.html in IE edge, I get file:///C:/C:/
In chrome canary, the routing works fine.

I am using hashHistory as explained above.
