Facebook上的共享链接被严格编码

Question

How do you share a link on Facebook? I have no problem with submitting a top level URL (site.com). When I try to share a deeper link (site.com/anything), Facebook incorrectly encodes the link. I tried pre-encoding my URL with Javascript's escape() , but Facebook doesn't like that either.

Answer 1

Deeper links work fine, provided that the link actually resolves to something. I only get the encoded path if the URL does not resolve at all.

Update : I suspect in this instance, resolve = responds with a 200 OK HTTP response. The URL you linked ( http://veetle.com/v/4d75ad1a6d412 ) gives me a 301 redirect to http://veetle.com/view.php/4d75ad1a6d412 , which in turn gives me a 302 redirect to http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4d75ad1a6d412 .

When I enter the last URL into the Facebook share page, it resolves fine: http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4d75ad1a6d412
