Description

Hi,

When trying to collect static files to /staticfiles/ with WHITENOISE_KEEP_ONLY_HASHED_FILES = True, the collectstatic command fails with the following error on Windows:

OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\project\\staticfiles\\rest_framework\\fonts\\fontawesome-webfont.dcb26c7239d8.ttf?v=4.0.3'

Example location of error in fontawesome-webfont.ttf:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'FontAwesome';
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.0.3');
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.0.3') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3') format('woff'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.0.3') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.0.3#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

Strangely, there is no error when setting WHITENOISE_KEEP_ONLY_HASHED_FILES = False.

As seen in the error, static file URLs are getting parsed in the Django REST Framework library, but if they contain some cache-buster like ?v=4.0.3, collecting fails.

Resulting files with WHITENOISE_KEEP_ONLY_HASHED_FILES = False:

font-awesome-4.0.3.css:

font-awesome-4.0.3.3a5855b3b460.css:

So the hash is properly set for URLs with a question mark when using WHITENOISE_KEEP_ONLY_HASHED_FILES = False.
