1198002 - twitter: link concatentates current and target urls

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Ralph Giles (:rillian)]

Went to https://mobile.twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu

Clicked on link to a website from that feed.

Firefox for iOS tries to go to https://mobile.twitter.com/jayrosen_nyuhttp://t.co/...

Doesn't happen if I click on the specific tweet and click the link from there, or if I go back and try again.

Running in the simulator. Build from this morning's checkout, commit a139c3a818fd.

Simulator is running iOS 8.4 (12H141). Roland has reproduced with a real device under iOS 9 beta.

[Roland Tanglao needinfo please :rolandtanglao, :mohnkuchen, :adobo, :sinigang, :roland]

this bug also happens on chrome for ios and safari for ios and firefox os so i don't think this is a firefox for ios bug, changing to webcompat

Bizarre. Doesn't repro for me on my iPod touch or simulator. https://cloudup.com/cbss_QhHoAq

Possibly hitting different t.co servers?

I can reproduce on desktop Chrome, (e.g, https://mobile.twitter.com/Bungie and clicking any shared URL).

There's some location.href change code in that script for someone to dig through :)

Current theory is that they're rolling out their new site and somehow broke the new one. Let's give this a day to let Twitter sort this out.

Worked everywhere I tested it now (could not test on Fx iOS though so please reopen if it still happens there)
