Empty hash at the end of URL causes page reload in HTML5 mode

[dtritus]

For example, If I open http://localhost/#, page is reloaded to http://localhost/.

Looks like issue happens here: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ng/location.js#L882

When http://localhost/# loaded $location.absUrl() returns http://localhost/ and $browser.url($location.absUrl(), true) called, which causes page reloading.

OK, so we could probably fix this by comparing after stripping the empty hash.
I don't believe there is any real difference between loading a page with and without an empty hash... Is there anything that I am missing?

As I understand, this code executed only once, during application bootstrap, so issue happens only if we loading page with an empty hash.

Next workflow works ok: load page without empty hash -> add some hash -> remove hash -> empty hash kept at the end to prevent page reloading (fixed by #10308).

Also, I think you added wrong component label, issue in $location, not in $http.
