I have Symfony 1.4 web-application.
Let’s say my app is hosted on example.com and there is FAQ page there.

When I refer to my app like this: http://example.com/faq#faq1 everything works fine.
But when “#” is escaped: http://example.com/faq%23faq1

I see the following message in log produced by symfony:

[err] {sfError404Exception} Empty module and/or action after parsing the URL "/faq#faq1" (/).

So, it looks like Symfony recognizes there is “#” but fails to route it correctly.

routing.yml:

faq:
  url: /faq
  param: { module: static, action: faq }
  requirements:
    sf_method: [get]

How do I make Symfony to route URL with escaped characters correctly?

It’s not a Symfony problem. It’s not your problem. The problem come from people who escape #.

I took few examples:
