Resource URL rewritten by the client

[kael]

Steps to reproduce

1. Bookmark a GitHub page, e.g. : https://via.hypothes.is/https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js
2. The bookmarked resource URI is https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/sponsors_list?block_button=false&current_repository=whatsapp-web.js.

Notice also https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/overview_actions/main.

Also, I'm wondering if this is correct in the payload: "href": "https://viahtml.hypothes.is/proxy/https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js?via.client.ignoreOtherConfiguration=1&via.client.openSidebar=1&via.external_link_mode=new-tab".

I've had noticed the same with that URL https://assistance.free.fr/articles/freewifi_secure-informations-avancees-943 which then turned into https://assistance.free.fr/articles/freewifi_secure-informations-avancees-943?search-text=

Addendum: It's not possible to delete the wrongly linked annotation then, as the URLs don't match and the user is not sent back to the wrong URL.

This looks like an issue with Via. When visiting the page directly and executing document.querySelectorAll('link[rel=canonical]') in the browser console, only one element is returned with the correct URL. In Via however I saw 4, with different URLs:

This looks like an issue with Via.

Indeed.

I've just re-tested with the bookmarklet for that link https://assistance.free.fr/articles/freewifi_secure-informations-avancees-943 and it got correctly bookmarked - I can't use the bookmarklet with GitHub, probably because of interacting installed Firefox extensions (NoScript, etc).
