hash mark (#) URL bug in IE?

[Guest]

i'm not certain if this is the proper forum, but i believe i've found a bug
in IE.

typing a URL of the following form into IE seems to work:
http://www.blah.com/blah.html?param1=blah#blah

the #blah gets stripped off on the actual request to the server.

however, if a request to another site sends a 302 redirect to the above URL,
IE does not strip off the #blah. it ends up getting sent to the server and
interpreted as part of the value of param1.

firefox seems to properly strip off the #blah in either case.

i apologize if i missed an existing bug report or post on this subject, but
i did some searching and did not find anything.

thanks!
