Using Angular 1.5 in an asp.net mvc site.

I have a base tag:

<base href="/fr/">

and html5mode is set.

The site works perfectly. I use ui-router... no issues. But today I hit one and this is when I try to browse to this kind of url:

http://example.com/fr?arg=1

I get an error from angular:

url is undefined

If I navigate to /fr/?arg=1 (with the trailing slash) the error goes away.
If I navigate to /fr/about/?arg=1, it will navigate to the index page but won't trigger the "about" state.

How to get the query string to work?

Update: setting strictMode to false, as @miqid proposed, fixed the issue for this url /fr/about/?arg=1 but not for the base /fr?arg=1

UrlMatcher takes an argument named strict that lets you customise the behaviour of URL matching when trailing slashes are involved. You can use this as the url property of a state to not require trailing slashes with query strings. – miqid Feb 11 at 0:09
    
@miqid Thank you. Unfortunately, my dev machine is in distress today and I will have to reinstall a lot of things. I will come back to you as soon as I can test what you proposed. – Nicolas Cadilhac Feb 11 at 14:53
    
@miqid ok, was able to test. I tried calling $urlMatcherFactoryProvider.strictMode(false); before defining the states and it changed nothing. Did you mean something else? How should I configure a UrlMatcher? Please, write an answer as a full post. – Nicolas Cadilhac Feb 11 at 18:28
    
Without seeing more context of your setup, there's not much else I can suggest, because the problem might actually be something else. However, here's a basic Plunker I wrote which illustrates the effect of strictMode and catching routes with or without trailing slashes. Do take a look - plnkr.co/edit/n9mRfw?p=preview – miqid Feb 12 at 3:22
    
Thanks. I tried your plunker. It demonstrates the contrary of my issue. I have no problems with trailing slashes. If have a problem when I remove it. Note also, that my issue is only on the base url (I don't know why it was not working when I created this post but today it works). So only example.com/fr?arg=1 is not working. Your plunker does not show this and I can't succeed making it work with a state '/'. At last, note that the problem happens only when typing an url in the address bar. Creating an href="?arg=1" works and creates a url with the trailing slash anyway. – Nicolas Cadilhac Feb 12 at 13:50
