URL parameters in $httpBackend (angularJS)

Question

Is it possible to receive an URL parameter in $httpBackend in angularJS? I would like to do something like:

$httpBackend.whenGET('/api/v1/users/{userId}').respond(function (method, url, data) {
    // somehow read {userId} and act differently depending on what the value is

    return [200];
});

Having this functionality would really make it easy to create a rather functional mock API (easier to develop the front-end application without having to run the whole backend).

You can pass a regexp instead of a string as the URL. In the callback function, extract the userId from the URL, and answer what you want.

Thank you, Sir. Should anyone need an exemplary RegExp for that purpose, please consider mine: /^/items/\d$/ Hope it helps, too!
