Bug Description

Testbrowser passes anchors as part of it's REQUEST. This results in errors in the Zope 3 publisher.

This comes from a bug in the mechanize module, which the testbrowser uses. It will take a link containing a fragment, such as "project#contributors", escape the URL as "projects%23contributors", and send the result.

The bug was fixed in mechanize verson 0.1.4b. See http://osdir.com/ml/python.wwwsearch.general/2006-10/msg00013.html

Zope3 trunk currently uses mechanize v0.1.2b. There shouldn't be any harm in updating to the latest version.

mechanize 0.1.4b doesn't help this.

The specific error occurs only with getLink().click(), but not open.

A work around exists by forcing mechanize's request class to be its custom internal class instead of Python 2.4's urllib2.Request class.

See revision 89880 in zope.testbrowser/trunk for the workaround.
