Re: htaccess redirect URL fragment problem with Safari browser

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Well, here's the example:
http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/schedules/092/regrules/all.html#acc

Try this with several browsers and you'll find that it only fails to pass the anchor on Safari....

Anyhow, I'm afraid that I am trying to capture the anchor and pass it through to the redirected URL so I may be out of luck.

Thanks,
Robert

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 have several co-workers that use it, and they never reported that issue.

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

Hello Robert,

Actually, the # in the URI indicates an anchor, not a comment. They
cannot be matched on, nor captured.
