    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.
