Crash trying to create a "file://" dist version about angular2-hn HOT 3 OPEN

Yes I see those errors and yes, I have to use Chrome.
I investigated a bit the problem.
I used a very minimal example, to understand a bit more.
A core thing seems to be "skipLocationChange".
If you create a very basic Angular2 app (two routes, for example) in the html part turn, for example, something like <a routerLink="/bundled">Another Module</a> to <a routerLink="/bundled" skipLocationChange>Another Module</a> and, using <base href="./"> in the index.html, I am able to use the router html5 style with a plain "file://" in the browser.
The little change I made are based on https://github.com/Meligy/routing-angular-cli/
Of course this is a good step but I don't want to change every anchor in the views... a more general solution (touching the router, I suppose) might exist.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

So this is interesting. That command should be just fine actually (since all the src and href links in index.html are just their names) However ng build --prod --bh ./ gives me the following error in Chrome

SecurityError: Failed to execute 'replaceState' on 'History': A history state object with URL 'file:///[MyFilePath]/angular2-hn/dist/' cannot be created in a document with origin 'null' and URL 'file:///[MyFilePath]/angular2-hn/dist/index.html'.

Are you seeing the same error? Interestingly enough it works in Safari 🤔

I found an issue where someone was experiencing the same thing. I asked if he did anything differently so hopefully he gets back on that. In the meantime, I'll dig around and see if I'm just missing something.

Thanks for digging into this! You're right, there might be a better way to do it so will see if I can find anything as well.
