capturing full URL of a GET request in AngularJS including query params - angularjs

Question

I'm using http interceptor. I do see all the values when I make a Restangular GET request. Here is the code for my request interceptor.
request: function (config) {
// see link below to see value of config
console.log('config', config);
// below returns full url except query string
console.log('location', $location.absUrl());
// $rootScope.cacheData is $cacheFactory
console.log('$rootScope', $rootScope.cacheData);
// only returns {id: "http", size: 3}
console.log('cache info', $rootScope.cacheData.info());
// below returns undefined
console.log('cache get', $rootScope.cacheData.get('http'));
// other codes removed since it's not related
// ........
// ........
// Return the config or wrap it in a promise if blank.
return config || $q.when(config);
},
config value : http://i.imgur.com/l0IsXbJ.png
Unfortunately, preparing the params captured manually is not 100% guaranteed that it will match what has been cached. I noticed that cacheFactory checks the exact string that was requested. So if our GET request's query parameters are age=12&name=scott then on our http interceptor, we prepare it the other way by putting name first then age(name=scott&age=12), cacheFactory won't find it.
So I'm trying to look for an angular service or factory that will return the full URL equal to the request we made. I tried $location but it's not giving the full GET request.

I just decided to parse the config and build it from scratch. It's working great :)
if ( config.method == 'GET' && (config.url.indexOf('v1/repeters') != -1) ) {
// Prepare the full path
var cachedUrlsLocalStorage;
var absolutePath = '';
_(config.params).keys().sort().each( function(key, index) {
var value = config.params[key];
absolutePath = absolutePath + key + '=' + value + (index < _(config.params).keys().value().length - 1 ? '&' : '');
});
cachedUrlsLocalStorage = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem('cachedUrls'));
if (cachedUrlsLocalStorage) {
var exists = _.findIndex(cachedUrlsLocalStorage, function(cachedData) {
return cachedData.url == config.url + '?' + absolutePath;
});
if (!exists) {
cachedUrlsLocalStorage.push({url : config.url + '?' + absolutePath, timeExecuted : moment(), expiryTime : moment().add(10, 'minutes')});
window.localStorage.setItem('cachedUrls', JSON.stringify( cachedUrlsLocalStorage ));
}
} else {
cachedUrlsLocalStorage = [];
cachedUrlsLocalStorage.push({url : config.url + '?' + absolutePath, timeExecuted : moment(), expiryTime : moment().add(10, 'minutes')});
window.localStorage.setItem('cachedUrls', JSON.stringify( cachedUrlsLocalStorage ));
}
}
