what people are telling you is that "#" and anything following it never 
leaves the client, by definition.

this discussion could be more productive if you had a brief look at the 
specs you're depending on. the very first rule shown in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3 is

URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]

each URI is defined like this and must have a colon.

cheers,

dret.
