Catch all route parameter

Question

Catch all route parameter

I have a url such as this: http://foo.bar/#/some/other/path

How do I capture "some/other/path" as a route parameter?

I tried this:

var App = angular.module("App", [])
  .config(function($routeProvider){
    $routeProvider
      .when('/:path', { controller: ListCtrl, templateUrl: 'list.html'})
      .otherwise({ redirectTo: '/'})
  });

But :path is only giving me some rather than some/other/path

javascript
routing

As mentioned by Stewie in the comment above, Angular unstable 1.1.3 now supports catch-all by using an asterisk.

For example:

var App = angular.module("App", [])
  .config(function($routeProvider){
    $routeProvider
      .when('/*path', { controller: ListCtrl, templateUrl: 'list.html'})
      .otherwise({ redirectTo: '/'})
  });

Partial string matches—-such as matching for instances of jpg in a url—-still don't seem supported.
