Well I'll be ....
You're right, the data is there !!
And I now was able to fix the problem as well.

There was a small flaw in the script but when I started debugging it I
always passed the data via the URL (GET) instead of going though the pages
using POST.
Via the URL the data after the # was clearly gone so I figured that was the
issue without realising that this may be different for POST !
However, via POST the string is intact and a small fix in the script now
deals with the data correctly.

Thanks for the tip.
