So I got this spam link via SMS. And I did something like this. I was all like "Haha! I will outsmart these mutton-brains with my `curl` on EC2!"

Instead, what happened is that the URL was unique and it validated my phone number. Now I constantly get that variety of spam. NUuuuuuuuuu

Seeing that most of the URL's have unique strings in them that could be expected right? ;)

It definitely should work. What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Do you have more information about what happened?

I just tested and made a screen recording showing it definitely works here: https://github.com/dosyago/ProductMedia/blob/master/ISOlatio...

My browser (Safari, iOS 13.5.1) crashed when I clicked isolate.

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. I'll run some tests when I'm near a iOS. Do you have any more information?

It consistently crashes my browser on any url.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter “example.com”

2. Press isolate (nothing happens, and a pop up with Enter Url appears)

3. Try to hide keyboard by pressing Done at the top right of the keyboard

4. Press isolate again

Hey finger, I tested on iPhone 8 on 13.5.1 and did not see this issue. Were you using an iPad? Any more info?

Sorry about this!

Thanks. I better check on what's happening

edit: all fixed now, correct certs are back. I had switched branches and the changes came into effect when server restarted, including different certs.
