Sorry for not giving more details. It's not a fragment - it's an
Angular JS routing thing (https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/$location,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14319967/angularjs-routing-without-the-hash).
I don't really understand all that, as I didn't write this code, I
just inherited it and have to support it.
The code is something like this:
QString urlStr = "http://foo.bar.com:8000/#/workitem/12345";
QUrl reportUrl(urlStr);
Then it emits a signal, which has that QUrl parameter which causes
this code to run:
ui->webView->setUrl(url);
The Angular JS intercepts that URL and based on the # it does some
mapping to it.
On a Mac this works fine. The Angular code gets the URL with the # and
it does whatever it's supposed to do, and the server code gets the
proper mapped URL and all is well.
On Windows the URL Angular gets does not have the #, so it does not do
what it's supposed to do, and the server gets a bad URL and the
request fails.
The link I referenced (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTWEBKIT-56)
mentions a bug with setUrl with URLs with a #, so I was wondering if
that is why we are seeing issues on Windows.
