[Server Bug]: Remote account lookup does not work (invalid url)

[grossermensch]

Description

Looking up a remote profile by searching for either @user@domain or user@domain does always respond with invalid URL. Searching for https://domain/@user does work. It seems that within the remoteLookup function the SanitizeService->url function is called too early or at the wrong place and always results in the invalid url

Steps to reproduce

1. Search for remote user with user@domain
2. Get 403 error with „invalid URL“
3. Try again with https://domain/@user and it works

Adding additional data in case it's useful.

Searching for "https://loops.video/@Tightrope_knots" (an account which was made yesterday) from within Tusky or a web browser from social.coop or mastodon.social results in:

In contrast, searching for loops.video/@da5nsy (an older account) succeeds.

Searching on loops.video for "tightrope_knots" succeeds.

@da5nsy I think this issue is for looking up non-Loops fediverse accounts inside Loops. You may want to file a different issue for looking up Loops accounts outside of Loops.

(@grossermensch correct me if I'm wrong, or @dansup if you want to track them both together.)

@grossermensch I'm working on a fix, searching dansup@pixelfed.social or https://mastodon.social/@dansup on loops.video does now return proper results.

@da5nsy This was caused by a webfinger bug, try again now, we shipped a fix!

@snarfed Yeah the issue @da5nsy mentioned is unrelated and fixed, I'm working to resolve the remaining search bugs.

Whoops. Sorry for posting in the wrong place.

Tested, working! Thanks!
