avoid routing of hash-less urls with ng-route

Question

Say, I am browsing localhost/index.html#/view1, and I have a link pointing to localhost/index.html . When I click it, angular process it through its ng-route module and it falls into my redirect clause.

this is an extract from the route config:

$routeProvider
    .when( "/view1", route1 )
    .otherwise({redirectTo:'/view1'}); // localhost/index.html clicks fall here

I could use a ng-click and then redirect javascriptly with location.href, but this is not a desirable solution because I would lose the href link(SEO, bookmark, tabs).

tl;dr

How do I tell angularJs ng-route not to process urls without hash ?

EDIT: I do not user html5 mode and do not plan on using it.

If you are asking about angular routing service ignoring the url links. See documentation of $location

In cases like the following, links are not rewritten; instead, the browser will perform a full page reload to the original link.

Links that contain target element

Example: <a href="/ext/link?a=b" target="_self">link</a>

Absolute links that go to a different domain

Example: <a href="http://angularjs.org/">link</a>

Links starting with '/' that lead to a different base path when base is defined

Example: <a href="/not-my-base/link">link</a>
