hi,all! I'm new to here.I have a problem about routing anchor or redirect url by anchors,for example: I want to request a url like "www.myhost.com/foo#bar" and then response a new url like "www.myhost.com/foo/bar". My problem is I don't know how to read the anchor from a request. Any thought? thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, you can't. Anchors are not passed to the server in the request. The only way to do anything with them is to read them on the client side with JavaScript, and pass information about them to the server.

See this article for an example of how they're used to maintain browser history:
