My java server works as follows:
http://locahost:5555/?search="java"
The above link would work fine. However, if I ever want to use "#" as part of search string, it all goes wrong. For example:
http://locahost:5555/?search="c#"
For some reason everything after "#" gets ignored. If I use the decoded version of "#" it works fine again. For example:
http://locahost:5555/?search="c%23"
The system should be used by people that don't understand url encoding so they would never put %23 instead of #. Is there anyway around it?
