@Ozwel The part before the # is sent to the server, the part after it is not. Its as simple as that.

| Feb 9, 2021 at 12:34 | comment | added | Ozwaldo | Thanks. Interesting to see not the whole URL is sent to the server. Actually, I know that every / is needed for the server to know the right folder, I know that ? is also needed to request the right information too (less sure about this one though), but is there a rule stating / must be sent, ? must be sent, but # must not? | |
