URL Hash not included in Request Data Structure

[craig552uk]

The URL hash fragment is not included in the request structure.

e.g.

curl localhost:3000/hello?a=b#c

When displaying the Request using elli_request:to_proplist(Req) on the request_complete event handler:

[{method,'GET'},
      {path,[<<"hello">>]},
      {args,[{<<"a">>,<<"b">>}]},
      {raw_path,<<"/hello?a=b">>},
      {version,{1,1}},
      {headers,[{<<"Accept">>,<<"*/*">>},
                {<<"Host">>,<<"localhost:3000">>},
                {<<"User-Agent">>,<<"curl/7.38.0">>}]},
      {body,<<>>},
      {pid,<0.37.0>},
      {socket,{plain,#Port<0.824>}},
      {callback,{elli_hello_http,undefined}}

I think this is the intended way all the modern browsers work, due to libraries like Angular or Ember use the hash in the address bar for defining internal routes.

Yes, @dantodor is right. The browsers don't actually send the fragment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier

That, I did not know. Thank you both and apologies for the unnecessary ticket.
