Description While working PR #11496 the idea of not allowing FRAGMENT section in a Request Line was introduced.

It is good idea that seems to follow the HTTP spec.

  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-4.1 - indicates that the relative URI shouldn't have the fragment component
  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-4.2.5 - says that the fragment component is not part of the ABNF for http or https URIs
  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-7.1 - says that the server should ignore/drop the fragment component, as the fragment component is reserved for client-side processing
  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-10.2.2 - points out that a redirect Location response header can contain a fragment indicator
  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-17.11 - there is a security concern as well with exposure of fragment after redirect

If we do this, we should be careful how we do it, and allow a configurable UriCompliance mode to configure the behavior.

Opened PR #11580 to start this issue. Currently just a cherry-pick of commit fed10f79aacecfcb4118bcbe39fcb21d98666f25 along with some testcase updates

@joakime can you please reword everywhere you wrote "query" meaning "fragment"?

Yeah, sorry, my mind was stuck on the exception message from the old PR ...

https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/blob/fed10f79aacecfcb4118bcbe39fcb21d98666f25/jetty-core/jetty-http/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/http/HttpURI.java#L1460-L1461

The exception messages from that commit showed up as ...
