Tomcat, getRequestURI(), and URL fragments
I've noticed an interest consequence of getRequestURI() with Tomcat --
getRequestURI() doesn't return the URL fragment (the part after the "#").
So, if the URL is http://www.foo.com/page.html#blah, getRequestURI() only
returns "/page.html", as opposed to "/page.html#blah". Apache, however,
knows the full URL (which is recorded in the logs). Can anyone tell me if
this is normal behavior, and if there's a way to retrieve the URL fragment?
Environment: Linux, Tomcat 5.0.28, Apache w/mod_jk.

Ah. That's kind of what I was thinking. For some reason, some browsers do
actually send it, so I was getting a little confused. Thanks.
