sorry for "throw" .. somewhat bad habit (stemming from wandering between languages).

uses_fragment extended:

[autobahn at autobahnhub ~/Autobahn]$ python

>>> import urlparse
>>> wsschemes = ["ws", "wss"]
>>> urlparse.uses_relative.extend(wsschemes)
>>> urlparse.uses_netloc.extend(wsschemes)
>>> urlparse.uses_params.extend(wsschemes)
>>> urlparse.uses_query.extend(wsschemes)
>>> urlparse.uses_fragment.extend(wsschemes)
>>> urlparse.urlparse("ws://example.com/something#somewhere/")
ParseResult(scheme='ws', netloc='example.com', path='/something', params='', query='', fragment='somewhere/')
>>> urlparse.urlparse("ws://example.com/something#somewhere")
ParseResult(scheme='ws', netloc='example.com', path='/something', params='', query='', fragment='somewhere')
>>>

=> fragment extracted

ParseResult(scheme='ws', netloc='example.com', path='/something#somewhere', params='', query='', fragment='')

=> no fragment extracted, but interpreted as part of path component
=> no exception raised

The answer on Hybi outstanding, but I would interpret Hybi-17: # must always be escaped, both in path and query components. Fragment components are not allowed. Thus, unescaped # can never appear in WS URL. Further, it must not be ignored, but the WS handshake failed.

If this should indeed be the correct reading of the WS spec, then I think urlparse should raise an exception upon unescaped # within URLs from ws/wss schemes.
