1504176 - Image URLs with different # fragment identifier are treated as different resources

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1121693

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Kuba Orlik]

Attachment: multiple-requests.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

I've created an SVG sprite containing multiple images, so they can be loaded with a single request.

I've created an HTML document with img tags that link to the same file, but with different fragment identifier (#)


Actual results:

The images are displayed correctly, but when I serve both the sprite file and the html file over HTTP, the network manager and server logs show that Firefox send a new request for each URL, even though they link to the same file, just different fragments.


Expected results:

Firefox should only send one request, to save bandwidth.
