using appcache while running e2e tests was causing the following
problems:
- Safari would occasionally reload the app (as a result of the appcache
refresh) during the angular.validator.asychronous test, which would
result in test failure and false positivy.
- Firefox6 would run the tests very slowly, disabling the cache resolved
the latency issues
- Sometimes tests would run with stale code pulled from cache, which
would result in flaky tests.
- Configure our docs app to use new $location with html5 history api!
- Update simple node web server to serve index.html for all links
(rewritting).
- Update .htaccess file to serve index.html for all links (rewritting).
- At runtime determine the base href path and attach it to the DOM. We
needed the absolute URL to get all browsers to work well.
- Because of the above, we also need to dynamically determine all needed
js/css resources and add them to the DOM. This was needed because FF6
would eagerly fetch resources with wrong URL since the base element is
added to the dom at runtime.
- All content html files were moved to the partials directory, because
with the new html5 urls it was impossible to tell if request for
http://domain/api/angular.filter.html was an html5 url for the html
filter doc page, or an xhr/appcache request for the content html file
for the html filter.

- e2e tests will run index.html (without jquery) and with
index-jq.html(with jquery).
- many small changes to make e2e tests work withough JQuery as we
discover problems that were previously hidden by using real JQuery.
select (one/multiple) could not chose from a list of objects, since DOM requires string ids.
Solved by adding index formatter, which exposed incorrect handling of formatters in select
widgets.
