Subject: w32-shell-execute removes target from local URLs
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 20:55:15 +0000 (GMT)

The (Windows) function w32-shell-execute strips anchors from URLs to
local files. For instance, given that the file C:/index.html exists, executing

    (w32-shell-execute "open" "file:///C:/index.html#test")

opens file:///C:/index.html, without #test.

Note, however, that the function has no problem with external URLs;
e.g.,

    (w32-shell-execute "open" "http://www.example.org/index.html#test")

opens http://www.example.org/index.html#test, with the anchor included.

Anchors are not valid in file URLs, but it is not Emacs that is 
stripping it, as Emacs makes no attempt to decode the parameters that 
you supply.
