I would've expected the hash cruft to be ignored.
- wglb 9y agoThat's my error. I usually remove said cruft before submitting but neglected to do this time.
- sanj 9y agoSorry, I was asking more why HN didn't do it automatically.
- grzm 9y agoI agree, it's frustrating. I think the primary reason is that a general algorithm for doing so might be difficult to come up with. Some hosts, such as Medium, use unique identifiers for each page view which are apparently mapped on the server side. If that identifier is removed, Medium returns a 404.
- wglb 9y agoI chatted with mods and it is tricky to do with full generality.
