Re: IE vs Firefox -- http:// matters?

Just guessing, but # in this case probably stands for number, i.e. my
port
number, not a literal pound/hash/whatever sign.

That’s not a valid URL.

Just to clarify, while that’s probably
not something you want to be
confusing webservers with, it -is- a valid
URI according to RFC 3986.
(FYI, Rob, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
obsoletes RFC 2396.)

Parsed out, it works out to:

scheme: “http”

authority: “www.mydomain.com:myport”
path: “”
query: nil
fragment:
“/app/list”

If you apply the simple scheme-based normalization algorithm
(in this
case, http-based) described in RFC 3986, you end up with the following

URI, and I believe that’s what Firefox does:

http://www.mydomain.com:myport/#/app/list
