Doing a res.redirect() in the API adds a '#' to the end of the URL

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Describe the bug

In an API route, doing a res.redirect(302, '/somepath') always adds a # to the end of the URL. For example:

res.redirect(302, '/allocation')

becomes: /allocation#

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

Create an API route and do a res.redirect() within the function.

Expected behavior

I expect the URL to not contain a ‘#’ sign.

Hi @nodeworks. I wasn’t able to reproduce 🤔 I tried redirecting to both a page and another api route:

export default (req, res) => {
  res.redirect(302, '/api/test')
}

and

export default (req, res) => {
  res.redirect(302, '/test-page')
}

Is there any other info that might help track this down?
