This is not a framework request but a request about the website part that hosts the class references: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/ (yes I used bettor’s words
Sometimes you want to link to a direct Anchor in a class reference, like http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CHtml#checkBoxList-detail
If you write it like above, it works, but if you remove the "www" or the version number ("1.1" here), you lose the anchor and are redirected to an anchor-less link, like http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CHtml
So here are 2 examples that do not work as expected:

What browser are you using? Both examples work fine for me in Chrome 27, Firefox 21 and Opera 12.15. Not in Safari 6.0.4 though.
Safari 5.1.9
And here are the HTTP responses:

Other browsers keep the url fragment upon redirect, and Safari is apparently the only browser not complying to some standard…

Yeah, and the fragment isn’t sent to the server, so there’s not much the website can do to fix it. With a 4 year old bug report I don’t see Apple fixing it anytime soon either.
