Wow ... for some reason I thought the browser would
have sent the anchor in the request, e.g. "GET
/foo.html#bar". But they're smarter than that; they
remember it, i.e. "GET /foo.html", just like you said.

I think we can leave it where it stands: a known
issue, and one that doesn't come up often and has a
workaround. In that respect it's something like the
"multipart/form-data" issue, where the browser has
to obtain a session cookie before attempting the
request.

Sorry for creating such a hullabaloo about it. I'll
mark it as "completed" online.
