Can I read the hash portion of the URL on my server-side application (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.)?
http, language-agnostic, uri-fragment
Solution
The main problem is that the browser won't even send a request with a fragment part. The fragment part is resolved right there in the browser. So it's reachable through JavaScript.
Anyway, you could parse a URL into bits, including the fragment part, using parse_url(), but it's obviously not your case.
Problem
Assuming a URL of: ``` www.example.com/?val=1#part2 ``` PHP can read the request variables `val1` using the GET array. Is the hash value `part2` also readable? Or is this only upto the browser and JavaScript?
