Bug#835162: How to link to an external URL with # (hash) sign?

I really believe this is a bug in the code generated by
doxygen.

Look at the following simple code example:
	\documentclass{article}
	\usepackage{hyperref}
	\begin{document}
	Here is a link
	\href{http://foo.bar.baz#anchor}{test link}
	
	End
	\end{document}
which works without any problems. Please test it on your machine.

So I don't see a real problem with #, unless some other hackery is
loaded, but this is a problem of doxygen, not TeX Live.

I will close this bug, or reassign to doxygen, according to your
decision. Without hearing from you I will decide to close it.

Thanks

Norbert
