All, I'll bet this has been answered, but I haven't found it yet. Please feel free to point me at the answer if you know where it is. We are trying to redirect users from URLs of the form: http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/schedules/092/regrules/all.html#acc to URLs of the form: http://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/092/regrules/all.html#acc (Which is a virtual host on the same Apache 2.2.6 server.) The characters after # would be the relevant variable that we're trying to capture and pass through to the server. We are using .htaccess as follows: RedirectPermanent /student/registrar/schedules/092/regrules/ http://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/092/regrules/ (all on one line) This "works" in most browsers but fails with Safari. I found a reference suggesting that .htaccess files cannot redirect fragment URLs because the "#" character indicates a comment. However my reading of the documentation is "Lines that begin with the hash character "#" are considered comments, and are ignored." Meaning that only lines beginning with that character are ignored and specifically not meaning that the occurrence of the "#" character in the middle of the line indicates the beginning of a comment and will be ignored. What I don't know is whether I'm on the right track or barking up the wrong tree. I'm trying to figure out: 1) whether I can achieve what I'm trying to do 2) where the problem is It's possible that we simply need to add the "all.html" to the redirect directive; please let me know if you feel this is the case.
