Router URL cannot be accessed directly if parameter contains "." (dot) in it's value

[dtolstyi]

Description
As soon as you try to access URL containing . symbol the page cannot be displayed.

Steps to reproduce and a minimal demo of the problem

1. Create router accepting parameter, e.g.:
   { path: '/data/:date', component: DataDetails, name: 'DataDetails' }
2. Try accessing URL from your browser: http://localhost/data/2016.05

Current behavior
An error is returned that page cannot be displayed (Error 404)

Expected/desired behavior
Corresponding component is properly displayed.

Other information

1. If you access this URL programmatically, e.g. using:
   this._router.navigateByUrl('/data/2016.05');
   it works fine and proper component is shown.
2. As soon as you remove . from the URL, e.g.: http://localhost/data/2016-05 it works fine as well.
   Looks like the problem is cause by . symbol.

Did you solve this?

Reporting here that I'm experiencing this problem as well when we redirect to a url in which the users email is contained. I can't use the users email in this case as it contains a dot.

Same problem here

Cannot reproduce it using express server. Looks like the issue is related to webpack dev server treated urls with dots as file names webpack/webpack-dev-server#454

The same issue in cli angular/angular-cli#2168

tl tr just add

historyApiFallback: {
      disableDotRule: true
    },

into webpack dev server config
