Is the anchor part of a URL being sent to a web server?

by

The answer to this question is similar to the answers for Retrieving anchor link in URL for ASP.NET.

Basically, according to the standard at RFC 1808 – Relative Uniform Resource Locators (see Section 2.4.1), it says:

“Note that the fragment identifier is not considered part of the URL.”

As stephbu pointed out, “the anchor tag is never sent as part of the HTTP request by any browser. It is only interpreted locally within the browser”.
