Proper short URL resolution. To my surprise, this is all but trivial since XMLHttpRequest transparently resolves all the redirections, and there’s no raw socket HTTP thing. Will try Websockets for this eventually. Until then, we’ll have to put up with what Twitter’s offering in the data-expanded-url attribute. This is the URL, stripped by any GET parameters and fragment identifiers. It will not work well with sites that distinguish their pages by something like ?id=…, potentially giving credit to a tweet that linked to another page of the same site.

Hi,

I just installed Who-Tweeted-This and hoped to see the icon in the address bar of an URL opened from within a tweet on twitter.com, but nothing happend. No icon, no "back link", nothing.

Am I missreading the "documentation" of this extension or are there misunderstandings? Or is there really a bug, e.g. because I have still the old twitter layout?

Best regards,

Martin
