That's desired behavior.

You have to realize that a file path and an URL are not the same thing. For 
example the path "/directory/some file" will result in the URL 
"file:/directory/some%20file". You say you have a string in the form of 
"/path/filename#reference" and it seems that the #reference part is not 
supposed the part of the filename, so I guess that you want this to be 
treated as a (rather ill formed) URL. In that case you can just assign the 
string to KURL:
	KURL url(string);

Cheers,
Waldo
