prerender: The url is triming the fragment under prerender

[spiffytech]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

When saving a URL that includes a fragment identifier, the meta API url response field strips out any fragment identifier that was in the original URL

In: https://example.com/#hello
Out: https://example.com/

Expected behavior/code

I expect the url field to show what's in the browser address bar after the page loads. If following the link in my browser preserves the fragment, so should Microlink.

Additional context/Screenshots

This is a problem for my use case: I use the url field to get a canonical link to show users, since it resolves HTTPS redirects, shortlinks, etc.

I can't do that if the url field strips out important data (text highlights, or which part of the page is being linked to).

Thanks for reporting; Working into fix this asap!

After some digging, I discovered that this is actually a Puppeteer feature/bug:
puppeteer/puppeteer#11965 (comment)

Waiting for maintainers thoughts

I notice Puppeteer displays the URL fragment with page.url(). Are you able to use that?

[Kikobeats]

unfortunately what we need is response.url() with is the same than request.url() and currently they are not exposing the fragment, but they are working into it!
