Thanks for this @deodeveloper - before we can land this change it would need to have a unit test to show that it is doing what you expect.

For merging with master, updated a test case for the changes related to this the pull request as commented by @petebacondarwin

There are some stying issues (e.g. see https://travis-ci.org/angular/angular.js/jobs/106143760).
You can also run the ci-checks locally (grunt ci-checks) - I believe there will be some more (e.g. whitespace between function parameters) once you fix the semicolon issues 😉

This doesn't properly support URLs with a hash fragment, but I guess we don't really care, because it doesn't make sense to make requests against URLs with a hash fragment (since hash fragments have no meaning for the server).
(In any case, this PR doesn't make them any less supported than they already were, I just mention it as a possible (probably unnecessary) enhancement.)

@deodeveloper can you address the issues that @gkalpak has highlighted?
