Yes - but I am sure I sent the first link.

I'm not sure what has happened then.

I think that it is this in the head:

  <link rel="canonical" href="index.html">

I had to stop submitting ISC SANS posts because they similarly have a canonical link in their head which HN, for reasons I'm not sure about, use to 'correct' the URL, errantly.

Right you are!

I can turn that off for specific domains - if you email the relevant info to hn@ycombinator.com I'll take a look.

Thanks. I'm not sure it is going to be necessary. I checked the ISC diary site again yesterday and I think they have corrected their 'link rel="canonical"' header. I will try to submit one again when I see an interesting one.
