When I use angular router, and my url parameter contains a forward slash, the url becomes truncated:

e.g.
http://localhost:3000/?thisis=atest/withaslash
will be changed to
http://localhost:3000/?thisis=atest

When i try to access the parameters using RouteParams, i get the truncated url parameter value - 'atest' instead of 'atest/withaslash'.

any idea what is happening and how to fix?

slashes are valid characters in a url parameter, and the issue goes away if i urlencode the forward slash with %2F. Additionally, when retrieving the RouteParam value, the returned value contains the escaped slash (e.g. with the %2F). not sure if the latter is considered a bug though.
