ClearURLs fails to clean or allow CamelCamelCamel.com redirect links.

Open cryo-kronos opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

CamelCamelCamel.com is an Amazon price tracking service. It sends you an email if an item drops to your desired price. Clicking the link in the email results in a blank page. Disabling ClearURLs allows the clicked link to correctly open the Amazon page of the price tracked item.

There seems to be no way to whitelist the CamelCamelCamel.com link and ClearURLs is also unable to properly clean the link.

Here's an example of the email link that CamelCamelCamel.com sends you: https://oel.camelcamelcamel.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fca.camelcamelcamel.com%2Fproduct%2F0VBO0877GA33QTMHPLB45%2Fgo%3Fcontext=partner%26ctx_prid=3%26ctx_pid=100102098%26ctx_cid=99798496%26ctx_pt=price_amazon%26ctx_aid=413507451%26oelid=0Q3Z0X2R7Z915V6S6T7%26ctx_act=buy%26ctx_src=buy-button%26utm_campaign=amazon_products%26utm_source=camel-buy-btn%26utm_medium=email%26abt=at%26abv=foundation%26abid=976ca865563feffa4acdb79f7443522e8921d65696e5bcf9dbc806c762e80260/1/0100017578bcf994-189bb984-0787-4644-8bc9-7d4791415500-000000/3nfSsT9W5ifWhNi4zwggVhmU3Aa6-nttsb6P9PbmMRE=165

Can anything be done about this?

We can receive the emails regarding the desired price-drops, but the links Camel provide are fairly useless.

Sometimes I can figure out how to modify their links to go to the proper Amazon webpage, sometimes I can't. It's easier just to open an Amazon webpage on my own.

If Camel is expecting that their tracking links are going to provide them some revenue, someone should tell them why it's not happening.
