$location changes the ? parameter delimiter

Question

I wan't to open the following url from my controller /plant/needs/temperatures?open=temperatures, where the parameter open=temperatures is there to ask the page to open the related popup with the code as follows: ``` $scope.openPageUrl = function (url) { closePopover(); console.log("Open page url "+url); $location.path(url); }; Click to open ``` Unfortunately, I've got this url #/plant/needs/temperatures%3Fopen=temperatures requested, with the question mark replaced by %3F, preventing the page to open. Any idea to fix this?

Accepted Answer

If you try to get the current path using `$location.path` it will return path without query strings because `$location.path` don't understand them. So that's why it encodes it when appending new path.

You should use `$location.url` which won't encode `?`. Because it handles the changes of `.path`, `.search` and `.hash`

```
$location.url(url);
```
