Redirecting from /#invite_token= to /admin/#invite_token=

[coelmay]

Hey @agreene

@agreene

I’m starting to strongly suspect that the underlying proxy/redirect engine can’t handle # . Escaping # doesn’t seem to work either.

Correct, using a hash character in a redirect is not possible. It is nothing to do with the underlying engine. The reason is outlined in this post

Redirects URLs containing hashbangs

Hi Titus, No way to circumvent the issue. the “#” in URL’s means “the browser handles this” - so our server never even sees the rest of that path - we get: https://yoursite.com/ for a URL like https://yoursite.com/#anything-here-is-never-sent You’d potentially be able to do a client side redirect - I think the browser is aware that the URL contains it and so you could parse it from there and send a 301 from the client side JS.
