Ok. And we can't work around those 'rules' by defining our own transform function that takes fragment into account? (That does not convert a 'regular' relative URL to a 'regular' absolute URL, but rather works with the fragment syntax as defined by 'OpenSG archive URLs'?) Or would that be hideous and unholy? :) >> As I said, I'm no URL expert. I do not see the difference between >> using >> # and ! in your example.

Look > carefully at my example - the URL starts with "jar:", not with "http:". Yeah, I noticed that. I still think we could be able to transform URLs however we want (By analogy that a CGI-script that takes a fragment-containing URL and does something to it is very similar to what we want to do). Now, if we _should_, that's another matter. :) Oh well. We could also use the Java syntax, everyone is familiar with it so it makes sense to do that as well.
