Does removeparam act on URL-encoded query parameters?

[partingscientist]

Given the following link
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969723030334?via%3Dihub,

adding ||sciencedirect.com^$removeparam=via does not remove the via parameter.
Is this intended? Thank you.

No, but for your specific case you can make it work:

||sciencedirect.com/*?via%3D$removeparam=/^via%3D/

[iam-py-test]

||sciencedirect.com^$removeparam=via%3Dihub also appears to work

[gorhill]

I am assuming the ihub part is subject to change.

Also possible test:

||sciencedirect.com/science/article/*?*$removeparam
