Re: [Handle-info] Media Fragments

[Robert Tupelo-Schneck <schneck@cnri.reston.va.us>]

I wrote incorrectly.  As I should have recalled, what happens to a #-fragment on URI redirection depends on the client.  Firefox, Chrome, and Opera will forward the #-fragment as desired; Safari and Internet Explorer will not.  It never actually reaches the hdl.handle.net proxy in any case.

This will work at the server end (i.e. with any client): http://hdl.handle.net/12345/1?urlappend=%23t=60,100 ... %23 being the percent-encoding of #, which is required to have it reach the server.  Not nearly as pretty.

Template handles might be a more pleasing way to handle this.  This is a new feature in the coming HS7.0 server code, with documentation also coming.

So for instances if handle 12345/1 resolves to the primary resource http://www.example.org/video.ogv, then http://hdl.handle.net/12345/1#t=60,100 will redirect to the URI fragment http://www.example.org/video.ogv#t=60,100, which is probably exactly what you want to happen.
