Fragment Identifiers and posting to server

I am writing an ISAPI filter. I'm trying to test a scenario where
someone on page1.html clicks a hyperlink to page2.html#MyFragment. It
appears as though the fragment identifier does not get posted to the
server. I read something in a google group that said this is expected
behavior.

When I run my test though, the browser works as I would have hoped.
With me getting redirected to page2.html and page2 goes to the tag
marked by the fragment name. So my question is how does this work?
How can the fragment not get posted to the server, yet when the 2nd
page displays, it has the fragment identifier? Because my ISAPI filter
has to get the url and do some redirection depending on the situation,
this causes me problems. I doesn't seem to be available to me. Either
by getting the url from the header or by looking at my server
variables. Is there a way I can get it? If it's not posted to the
server, I don't see how it can work.

Thanks in advance.
