title: Angular 6 : Reloading window (Refresh F5 ) needs an extra "/" in IE11 to reload the current path
body: <p>Un my <strong>Angular 5</strong> app , i have some treatment within my authentication cycle which is handled with nginx .</p>
  
  <p>Nginx adds to my url this suffix : <code>/root</code></p>
  
  <p>When <strong>refreshing</strong> the window (chrome , firefox .. ) that works fine as i'm forcing that route (<code>/root</code>) to load a <strong>homePage</strong> component. </p>
  
  <p><strong><em>here is my scanrio :</em></strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>t0 :</strong> <code>http://myUrl</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>t1 :</strong> <code>http://myUrl/root</code>  <strong>(added by ngninx)</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>t2 OK :</strong> refresh (firefox Or Chrome)<br>
  <strong>-></strong> <code>http://myUrl/root</code> </p>
  
  <p><strong>-></strong> this recalls the nginx and reload successfully the current path (homePage)</p>
  
  <p><strong>t2 KO :</strong> refresh (<strong>IE11</strong>) </p>
  
  <p><strong>-></strong> <code>http://myUrl/root</code> </p>
  
  <p><strong>-></strong> this <strong>doesn't recall ngninx</strong> and try to reload directly the component under the <code>/root</code> route </p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Temporarly solution :</em></strong> Only in <strong><em>IE11</em></strong> : adding " <code>/</code> " for the path 
  <a href="http://myUrl/root/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://myUrl/root/</a>  to get it recalling nginx and reloading successfully the component</p>
  
  <p>To note in my <strong>index.html</strong> :   </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;base href="./"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Any suggesstions to that IE11 behaviour ??</strong></p>
