Re: Webapp options deprecated?

 

Hi Mitchell,

There was a recent code change to accept shor urls of the form domain.tld/*
which was not supported before. If you have issues with links opening in
the browser, it may also be due to a form of "trampoline" url sites can use
to track traffic.

Feel free to share a branch with the url pattern and / or logs of the app
where you observe those leaks of URLs to the browser.
