IE8 and lower keeps url before hash

[FedeSeque]

Hi!
Maybe i'm confused about how use this polyfill, but i'm not able to have the same behaviour in IE8 and lower than I have with native history api in Chrome, FF and Safari.

I'm on http://localhost:8080/
When called a controller method the url change to http://localhost:8080/Search?q=team
So, i want to call replaceState in order to revert url to http://localhost:8080/ again, and replace current state there without reloading

    alert(History.getState().url);
    History.replaceState(null, "", "/");
    alert(History.getState().url);

The alerts show first

• http://localhost:8080/Search?q=team
  And later
• http://localhost:8080/

But the url keeps like http://localhost:8080/Search?q=team#./

How can i get the url like http://localhost:8080/ ? Thats the way that it works in FF, Safari and Chrome.
Thanks!!!

This is also noticable with IE10 in compatibility mode.

The url change with replaceState changes the history hash, but not the url. So when the link is re-used, any parameters passed in the original link are sent to the server again.

eg,
url = "http://localhost:8080/action.html?doonce=true&code=555
History.replaceState(null, null, '?code=555');
url = "htp://localhost:8080/action.html?doonce=true&code=555#action.html?code=555"

This could/can/has cause doonce to be done twice ... for example.

I notice similar behavior in IE8 (and 9), and more specifically: The exact same code works correctly, if the site is served from a subdirectory. I.e.:

http://www.example.com/?page=foobar -> http://www.example.com/#http://www.exmaple.com?page=foobar&_suid=123456789
but
http://www.example.com/directory/?page=foobar -> http://www.exmaple.com/directory/#?page=foobar&_suid=123456789

So this error might be related to the way the address is parsed and only for no parts after the host it behaves faulty.

Can anybody else confirm this is also happening in IE9?
