Apache .htaccess for HTML5 push state manipulations

posted in Architecture on 2015-12-20   dev krasimir navigo home dev krasimir http home dev index html html http home index html http browser routing

This is a quick post so I document my two hours research. I'm working on a open source library for routing in the browser. Or in other words JavaScript library that uses the history API. The thing is that locally I'm using Apache as a dev server and I wanted all the request to specific folder to be redirected to index.html.
