Bug description

When I send an URL with a trailing hyphen, this hyphen is missing in the hyperlink added by Signal on this URL.
Example of a sent message :

https://fr.ulule.com/sapins-barbus-la-bd-/

The hyperlink goes to https://fr.ulule.com/sapins-barbus-la-bd

Steps to reproduce

• send a message, containing an URL with a trailing dash
• the trailing dash is missing in the hyperlink

Actual result: Because the hyperlink is wrong, it could generate a 404 error when the user click on the URL
Expected result: The hyperlink should be faithful to the URL, and contain all the characters indicated

The smallest text I could replicate with is A.com/ a or A.com/a/ a. The same issue happens with A.com/aa- a. The end space and character are necessary.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Still relevant 😢 Some pages require a trailing slash to work correctly. Could someone reopen this?
