I'm glad you understand why the www. host redirection was removing the original anchor. Now the second part of the problem is exposed, and confirmed. I'll do some digging as far apache is concerned to see if we can preserve that anchor. On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 3:34 AM, Matus UHLAR - fantomas

Robert, Your first quote simply states that the characters after the hash sign cannot be extracted by mod_rewrite. Nothing else. That guide even gives you a workaround. The second link can be circumvented with the [NE] flag. In any case, try this simple ruleset on your server (directly in

Robert, The issue is simple here: The www.utexas.edu site automatically redirects to utexas.edu with mod_rewrite (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html#url). As you know, and as I explained to you several times now, mod_rewrite cannot see or capture the initial anchor,

Robert, Apparently, you didn't listen to my last reply. Let me put into very simple words: 1) There is a redirection happening from 'www.utexas.edu' to 'utexas.edu', and it's using mod_rewrite. - Apache sees that you accessed www.utexas.edu, and tells you no, I'd rather you use

Thanks Frank, What I'm hearing is that the redirection is using a RegEx and that the hash character cannot be a player. Furthermore, the fact that this works on most browsers (but fails on Safari) is due to them being not strictly compliant. Is that about it? Thanks, Robert Frank Gingras

Robert, You CAN enter the URL directly in a browser, and the page 'should' scroll down to the anchor (a name='foo'). A sample URL would be: http://hostname/foo#bar. Now, a rule is allowed to redirect to an anchor. It simply cannot match or capture it. To address your issue with Safari, I
