ISAPI Redirection and In-Line document links   

I can not seem to get our filter to pass along inline document links.  For 
example, the following URL:

http://mydomain.com/conents/document1.htm#myInlineDocLink

Gets truncated to:

http://mydomain.com/newRedirectDirectory/document1.htm

after it is processed by the filter.  We are using the Server Variables to 
get the URL and do the redirection but as mentioned it does not seem to 
include anything beyond the document1.htm characters above.  It works fine 
with appended query strings such as:

http://mydomain.com/newRedirectDirectory/document1.htm?param1=test¶m2=test2

I am not an ISAPI guru so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: ISAPI Redirection and In-Line document links   

Hello,

The information after the '#' is used only by the client.  In fact, the
client never actually sends it on the wire.  This is why you cannot see it
in a filter.

Of course, the ramification of this is that, since it's purely a client
thing, whatever you are trying to do with it on the server can never work.

Thank you,

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

Wade's suggestion is appreciated! The "#" only is an anchor element for the 
client usage in HTML. The client never sends it to the server. That's why 
the URL can not be captured by the ISAPI filter. The following article from 
W3C gives us more explanation about the anchor element:

Hope this will be helpful!
