Hi Guillaume,
Great appreciate to you!!! You are right, if I enable javascript, it work perfect in Linux GTK. I learn something!!!
Another issue come, the Cocoa project I am testing load page from a proxy server, when I enable javascript it looks have cross domain problem for the AJAX. Do you know how to enable the cross domain access in webview settings? 
Again, thanks in advance!
Yang

That's because the browser _will_ chop this part of this URL.
'#' is a reserved part of the URI scheme, after which all characters are considered as a "fragment id", which is _never_ sent to the website. This part of the URL stays local to the browser.



Actual websites using this scheme as a way to navigate must use a Javascript code, executed on the client side, that will load the correct content through AJAX.

I tested in a Qt5.0.1 WebView (QML), and I have no problem loading your URL.



So, wild guess here, do you have Javascript enabled in your webview?

Hi All,
I found issue of processing URL: I create a simple webview and load page from a url string, it works fine for most given urls but not good for  http://money.cnn.com/m/#!/2013/02/06/news/economy/postal-service-cuts.json?category=Latest%20News.

if I encode the url as http://money.cnn.com/m%2F%23%21%2F2013%2F02%2F06%2Fnews%2Feconomy%2Fpostal%2Dservice%2Dcuts%2Ejson%3Fcategory%3DLatest%20News

it will give another error page.I got always the page  http://money.cnn.com/m which is home
 page of the news not the exactly article page. But if I input the full url in any browser(Safari, Firefox, chrome) it works fine.It seams the url been chopped from "#" character by webkit.

This happen for both Mac and Linux: I am using the night dump WebKit-r116865, tested with Cocoa application(iMac),  Ubuntu 12.04  GTK. 
Does any one know why?
Thanks,

Yang
