Precedence: list

2 short questions .. first one is part of http://bugs.python.org/issue13244

Which of the following URLs are valid WS URLs?

1. ws://example.com/something#somewhere
2. ws://example.com/something#somewhere/
3. ws://example.com/something#somewhere/foo
4. ws://example.com/something?query=foo#bar
5. ws://example.com/something%23somewhere
6. ws://example.com/something%23somewhere/
7. ws://example.com/something%23somewhere/foo
8. ws://example.com/something?query=foo%23bar

%23 = # "percentage escaped"

Hybi-17 spec:

"Fragment identifiers are meaningless in the context of WebSocket
URIs, and MUST NOT be used on these URIs.  The character "#" in URIs
MUST be escaped as %23 if used as part of the query component."

"path = <path-abempty, defined in [RFC3986], Section 3.3>"

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986:

"The path is terminated by the first question mark ("?") or number sign ("#") character, or by the end of the URI."

==

When an invalid WS URLs is received in the client request during opening handshake,
how is the server supposed to react?

Fail the handshake (i.e. http 400 Bad request), or "ignore" invalid parts (like fragment component)?
