1232978 - Telegram URLs have an extra slash ("/") at the end causing non-working links

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Akshay S Dinesh]

What I did:
* Added "akshay" to Telegram in profile http://mozillians.org/u/asdofindia
* Clicked on it to reach https://telegram.me/akshay/

What happened:
Telegram is confused on what to do with that URL

What should have happened:
The URL should have been https://telegram.me/akshay
Without the trailing slash, Telegram happily opens a chat with me.

Probable reason:
This might have been introduced by a recent change in URL pattern from Telegram's side. They now support telegram.me/share/url and lot such patterns. 

Possible fix:
Change https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/blob/1e5b46ef47eeb4da977ea38f8da0a5b88a0db94d/mozillians/users/models.py#L842 line to remove the trailing slash

Hey :nemo,

Thanks to Akshay, I got the dev environment working last night. I've hit a few bottlenecks in between (that probably might be because I'm new to the environment). I'll reach out to you guys if I need some help.

Yes, you can assign this bug to me. I'll fix this bug soon.
