URL Parameters from Social Media – Wildcard?
-
Hello. I am attempting to setup a redirect for my radio station’s online stream. For the ease of sharing a simple link, I have implemented the following redirect which directs to our streaming service.
WVOX.com/listen
The trouble is, when our hosts and friends share this address on social media, such as Facebook, the social media service appends a URL parameter to the link they shared. Even if a host shares exactly as above, the redirect link we receive looks along the lines of…
WVOX.com/listen?ref=facebook_etc&more=etc2
Any such URL with appended parameters leads to a 404 redirect.
I had hoped to implement a wildcard to catch possible URL parameters, as our streaming service site does not need or use them. Something like
WVOX.com/listen*
WVOX.com/listen?*However, this does not work.
Are there any other work arounds at this time?
Will URL parameters be handled in the future?
What other service could I use to handle this?Thank you for your replies.
