Changing req.hash

Thanks Tollef, it looks like that worked.

The reason I'm trying to do this is that we don't have a separate URL for
our mobile site -- users on both mobile and regular platforms access the
URL, and then the application renders the mobile view of the site if the
useragent matches an appropriate regex, and the regular view otherwise. By
messing with the hash, we can cache the two versions separately.

Thanks again,
Martin
