launch URL not working with a # character in the URL string

[Björnke von Gierke]

Sounds like a bug to me. did you try revgoURL instead? Note that I tested both here, and they didn't encode anything wrongly. Also note that "http://host.com/#anchor" should work, from a validity of url standpoint (note slash before hashmark).

But the problem is that the hash symbol gets escaped to a %23.  So, I still have the problem.  Here is my revised pseudo example:
