History.isTraditionalAnchor does not work properly

[igor-alexandrov]

Hello guys.

I have an issue with latest History.js 1.8b2. The problem is with URLs with params. For example if we push /catalog, then everything works find, but if we push /catalog?title=Apple' thenHistory.isTraditionalAnchorreturnsfalseand inHistory.getShortUrl ./` is not added to the start of the URL.

After this you got an URL like this http://192.168.0.7:3000/#catalog?brand=Cheetah instead of http://192.168.0.7:3000/#./catalog?brand=Cheetah. All seems to continue to work right, but URL is confusing.

In previous versions of History.js there was no History.isTraditionalAnchor. Why do we need it?

Thanks.

The function isTraditionalAnchor, what is a traditional anchor? There is no technical term for that. The function appears to be looking to see if it is a fully qualified url (http://domain.com/path?) with / or . or ?

A traditional anchor would be a url with a # where you click and the browser jumps down to that point in the page. At least that is what I think, but I am not sure how you determine that with this function isTraditionalAnchor. I would think you would look for the #.

At any rate this is confusing
