New submission from Jon Siddle <j...@corefiling.co.uk>:

Issue8280 fixed an issue where the fragment was being sent to the server (and 
returned by get_selector).

Unfortunately the fix means that the "full" URL stored in the Request no longer 
includes the fragment either.

This is in contradiction to the documentation which states:

 Request.get_full_url()
  Return the URL given in the constructor.

Yet:

 >>> import urllib2
 >>> urllib2.Request("http://host/path#fragment";).get_full_url()
 'http://host/path'

The particular use case is a custom scheme handler, which should be able to use 
the whole of the opaque part of the URL to operate. Ie, our code wants to do 
something like this:

 urllib2.Request("foo://opaquestring#opaquestring").get_full_url()
