Description

e.g. hash is dropped. We should pass the hash in the redirect
to avoid feedback like this:

I assume this problem is in the redirector..

Wondering if this is Site requests or Apache conf territory...

Not entirely sure...

Max said this was tricky. Max care to explain here?

"IE10+, Chrome 11+, Firefox 4+, and Opera will all "reattach" the original URI's fragment after following a 3xx redirection."

I assume we do one of these - if so why does it get dropped?

According to w3c spec fragments from the Location header are honored.

If the browser isn't doing this this is an issue with the browser not us.
I notice desktop Chrome doesn't have this issue for example.

Nothing we can do here. Browser issue.
