Is it possible to reload a partial view?

[ShobhitMaheshwari]

As shown in this plunker http://plnkr.co/edit/SWFgpp6ju07IwFB4XLB9?p=preview, if you preview on a separate window, if you click links the partial view is rendered and the url changes, however if the page is refreshed the page shows not found error.

I'm using ngRoute module for routing. This example is in official docs at https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute/service/$route

I've uploaded the image showing the problem.

@RoneyIsland:
In order for html5Mode to work properly, the server-side needs also to be appropriately configured (and you obviously can't configure the plunkr backend).

If you want "deep-linking" to work without server-side configuration (i.e. in plunkr as well), you need to use the traditional hashbang mode.

I.e.:

1. Remove the line: $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
2. Prefix the links' href attributes with #/: E.g. instead of href="Book/Moby" use href="#/Book/Moby"

Working demo

This comment in the docs seems somewhat misleading:

// configure html5 to get links working on jsfiddle
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);

Do you think it should be removed (@Narretz or @anyone) ?

@gkalpak - you are exactly right here. I think we should remove this comment. It was added a looonggg time ago in Feb 2012: b49ddf9
