Bypassing Angular URL routing

Question

How do I bypass the routing provided by angular? For instance, in my angular routing settings, I have set $routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo : '/someurl'});.

I want a certain request (generated by the user clicking a certain link in the HTML) to go to my webserver and not redirected to /someurl by Angular's routing. How do I do this?

From the $location docs:

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>

I've tried this. If I open the links in a new tab, it works fine. But if I click on the link directly, angular's routing takes over, none the less.

You should create a plunker. Here's a template.

The problem occurs only when the html5 mode is set to true. With the # based url scheme, it works fine.
