A client SHOULD NOT send the fragment part of a URL to the server?

Aha! I see what you mean now. Yes, this could be handled solely on the client side. Thanks for the clarification.

Still, no harm down if the fragment hit the server, right? Or?

I guess robust servers *should* tolerate this without throwing an error.

Yes servers should definitely ignore any such fragment, which should *not* be sent to the server.

The query part of the URI is for server processing, the fragment is always client side only as far as I understand it.
