wrong extracted data when fetching image link behind redirect #524
Description
when fetching an image link that's behind redirect, the extracted embed info contains no usable info or html for embedding.
the crawler seems to be following redirects fine, but the extracted data wan't updated to reflect the new contents at the redirected location.
not sure if this also apply to other embed resource links.
rough setup/test script
# nginx test server configuration
server {
listen 10.110.37.5:8888;
server_name localhost;
location ~ ^/301/(.*)$ {
return 301 /$1;
}
location ~ ^/302/(.*)$ {
return 302 /$1;
}
location / {
# put an image named 'hug.jpeg' in here

Hi @asdfzdfj, PR #589 should fix this: images detected by content type now use the final URL after redirects.
You can test it with
composer require embed/embed:dev-fix/4.5.5. We will leave the PR open for a few days before releasing 4.5.5, so any feedback is very welcome!
