ISSUE-98 - Public View

open(): requesting a URI with a fragment identifier

State:
CLOSED
Product:
XMLHttpRequest
Raised by:
Anne van Kesteren
Opened on:
2006-10-29
Description:
http://tc.labs.opera.com/apis/XMLHttpRequest/open/017.htm suggests that 
Internet Explorer literrally request "017.txt#foobar" from the 
server, where Firefox and Opera just request "017.txt".

Anyone with good arguments for keeping either behavior?

Related notes:

2006-11-05: Resolved. Fragment identifiers are dropped before doing the request. This makes the most sense.
