IE8 9: a link route error(angular 1.2.17 1.2.18)

[dolymood]

if my angular version is 1.2.18
base element, href is '/n/b/'
my a link's href is 'c/xx'
so i click this link then

• if the current location.href is 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!/'

  location.href should be 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!/c/xx' but the result is error, so i debug this and find that in line 9714 the "absHref" is 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!//c/xx'

• if the current location.href is 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!/c/yy'

  location.href should be 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!/c/xx' but the result is error, so i debug this and find that in line 9714 the "absHref" is 'http://www.x.com/n/b/#!/c/yy/c/xx'

Please check it.

Can you confirm that this wasn't an issue in 1.2.17?

Also, a plunkr that reproduces the problem would help a lot

@rodyhaddad this is a confirmed issue, although it hasn't been narrowed down to a specific commit. It was most likely my changes which were supposed to make relative route resolution work better in legacy browsers.

It's hard to sort out where the problem started happening, because I do remember this working when those were checked in, but without a legacy IE browser to use, it's a bit hard to sort out.

Hi @rodyhaddad

Yeah that issue was introduced on 1.2.17 also exist in 1.2.18 and 1.3 beta 13 I already opened another ticket #7892 (comment) where you may find the repro for this issue, however you repro this just going to the route doc page and try to use the demo in there
