solved URL Scanner - is 'https' an issue?

URL scanner is great - love it - but it won't resolve this page or any from this site - which resolves fine in the Facebook debugger: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/28/airports-us-immigration-ban-muslim-countries-trump

The only difference I can see between this and any other is that it's an 'https' prefix.

It works here in our chat, which uses the same urlScan.

I have added that URL to my URL Scan unit tests and it all works, so something else must be up.

UPDATE: One thing it could be is that at the time it tried to grab the OG tags, there was an error (i.e. it couldn't load the URL) - that means the non-OG tag version is cached. In your URL Scan datastore browser, find the ID for that URL and delete it and see if that works.

Hi there..you're right, I think something's up here. Just casting my mind back to two weeks ago to work out what I might have done.

Ok - I know what's going on, and it's nothing to do with https. Noticed it today with a link from the BBC News iOS app. When you copy a link from an app like the BBC or Guardian, the app inserts a description before the URL it copies. When I paste this into my JR site, I position the cursor to the beginning of the URL and delete the description.

This seems to mess up URL Scan, as once the space between the last word of the description and the 'h' of 'http' is deleted, it melds that last word into the URL and tries to scan it.

Have a look at the picture attached - working up from the bottom you can see the word 'resurrect' being deleted letter by letter, and creating an URL Scan entry each time...

Thanks for the report - I see this here as well and will get it fixed up.

Thanks!

No worries - thank *you*!

This has been fixed in the latest URL Scanner module - update and you should be good.

Hope this helps!
