Have a look at the request URL in this screenshot: http://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/invisible-clic... Notice the escaped character there.

There aren't any variables, just a couple unicode characters after the word 'inspector'

And this post doesn't link to the actual tracked url, the page contains it.

This is the actual URL: http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-trac...

Copy and paste the link into python, like so:

    >>> repr('http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-tracking')
    "'http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-tracking\\xe2\\x80\\x8b'"

EDIT: Yeah, they didn't show up anywhere in the Safari inspector for me either.

I'm not seeing this in Python either. Perhaps the URL on the article has been "fixed"?
