DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45077] New: mod_rewrite regex stops parsing input string at # character

           Summary: mod_rewrite regex stops parsing input string at #
                    character
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: codehacker@comcast.net


I have html anchor id's appended to my html file names. Like:
myfile.php#anchorname

If I use mod_rewrite regex to match this filename, for example to re-cast the
anchor name as a query string value, regex does not recognize any part of the
filename after the # character.

Specifically, if the http request is www.mydomain.com/myfile.php#anchorname and
I'm using:

RewriteBase     \
RewriteRule     ^myfile.php#(.*)        myotherfile.php?anchor=$1

the backreference $1 is never populated.

If I play with this for diagnostic purposes, I can try this:

http request is: www.mydomain.com/myfile.phpfoo#bar 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !testfile\.php
RewriteRule     ^(.*)   testfile.php?var=$1

and I can observe that the $1 backreference is populated with "myfile.phpfoo"

so you see that the # in the input string terminates the string matching and I
cannot capture that part of the string that follows #.

Anchors are not sent to the server as part of the request. They are only used
locally by the browser. So httpd and especially mod_rewrite never sees the
anchor.
