  That's because '#' is not a valid character inside a URL.

  Technically:

/*
 * Regular Expression as given in RFC3986 for URL parsing.
 *
 *  ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
 *   12            3  4          5       6  7        8 9
 *
 *  scheme    = $2
 *  authority = $4
 *  path      = $5
 *  query     = $7
 *  fragment  = $9
 *
 [...]

  i.e. anything after '#' is a 'fragment'.

  and BTW, that's why the file dpi escapes '#' as '%23' to be able
to show the file.

  HTH.
