I'd also like to do this with HttpResponseRedirect as well.
Since anchors are processed on the clientside in HTTP, this is actually fairly straightforward (you have to use redirects): (1) You send back a 304 response (HttpResponseRedirect) to the URL including the anchor portion. (2) The browser will send you a request for that page (without the anchor fragment). (3) You send back the full page in your reply. (4) The browser will display the page and reposition the display so that the anchor is at the top of the screen (subject to things like page length, etc). Since you aren't going to see the anchor portion in the request, you don't have to worry about processing it at all. All you (the server-side) are responsible for doing is to send back the full page requested and let the browser worry about the anchor.
