Issue8280 fixed an issue where the fragment was being sent to the server (and returned by get_selector).
Unfortunately the fix means that the "full" URL stored in the Request no longer includes the fragment either.
This is in contradiction to the documentation which states:
 Request.get_full_url()
 Return the URL given in the constructor.
Yet:
 >>> import urllib2
 >>> urllib2.Request("http://host/path#fragment").get_full_url()
 'http://host/path'
The particular use case is a custom scheme handler, which should be able to use the whole of the opaque part of the URL to operate. Ie, our code wants to do something like this:
 urllib2.Request("foo://opaquestring#opaquestring").get_full_url()
