Escaping "#" sign

Question

I am trying to use wget with a url that includes a "#" sign. No matter what I do to escape the character, it doesn't work. I've used \, ', and ". But none of them work. Does any one have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Send it as %23 if you really mean for it to have a hash. If you're trying to send a fragment, don't bother since the server won't care about it regardless.

Answer 2

maybe put uri around'' ? I believe it works
