Beschreibung
It looks like the public purldDB API responds to the inclusion of a `#` subpath separator followed by the subpath value by ignoring the subpath. An example: in the public API, `https://public.purldb.io/api/packages/?purl=pkg:maven/org.elasticsearch/elasticsearch@7.17.9#fake/subpath` returns the same 2 records returned by `https://public.purldb.io/api/packages/?purl=pkg:maven/org.elasticsearch/elasticsearch@7.17.9` -- the only difference is the presence or absence of `#fake/subpath`.
I understand that this might be an encoding issue, but note that according to the [purl specification](https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/blob/master/PURL-SPECIFICATION.rst#character-encoding), "the '#', '?', '@' and ':' characters must NOT be encoded when used as separators. They may need to be encoded elsewhere" and a bullet further below: "the '#' subpath separator must be encoded as %23 elsewhere". Perhaps the documentation needs to be clarified?
