Problems generating Rails route for weird URL

I have a URL that looks like this:

https://host.com/imageviewer/namespace.001.587#page/1/mode/2down

I need to generate a rails route for this such that I can get namespace.001.587 out as the id and get it to route to the ImageViewer#show_image action, I also need to get 2down as the mode, and 1 as the page. Not being a clean RESTful URL, I'm finding this difficult to do in Rails. I'm only calling GET on this URL.

How would you generate this route?

You can't. The server is never sent the hash (ie. anything after the #). That's a client side only thing. So you'll need to adjust the url or url escape the # to make it work.
