title: Spring 4 @RequestMapping handling REST URL with special characters
body: <p>How does Spring 4 handle the REST URL with special character, such as #?</p>
  
  <p>For example : <a href="http://localhost:8080/#/members/browse?id=1234" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/#/members/browse?id=1234</a></p>
  
  <p>The following code seems not working. </p>
  
  <p>Because Spring always discards everything after (including) #, and just returns the response of <a href="http://localhost:8080" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080</a></p>
  
  <p>Could anyone give us some help?</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RequestMapping(value = "/#/members/browse", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
  public String findMembers(@RequestParam(value="id", required=false) {
     // some code
  }
  </code></pre>
