I have a url like this: /hello/world#/lol/backbone

I’d like to get access, in ruby, to the full, entire path. I’d normally do something like this: request.fullpath but that returns only /hello/world and leaves off the #/lol/backbone/

Been Googling for awhile. Can’t seem to find it.

    You can’t get the fragment in your server code, the URL fragment (#/lol/backbone) is a client-side issue. The browser will interpret the fragment but it will not send it to your server.

    If you need the fragment then you’ll have to convert it to a parameter by intercepting your link with a bit of JavaScript, then the server could see something like

    /hello/world?frag=/lol/backbone

    and you could pull the fragment out of params[:frag]. This does of course assume that your JavaScript link interceptor will get run, that’s not guaranteed so your server-side code should be prepared for a missing params[:frag].
