Links don't auto-record solutions if a / is added at the end

As per the title. Open any puzzle in the database (e.g. this one: https://twitter.com/efzoz/status/1356173867400785921). Edit the URL to place a / at the end (so https://puzz.link/p?icebarn/11/11/badpuzzlebadpuzzlelollol27437366336zzzj/ instead of https://puzz.link/p?icebarn/11/11/badpuzzlebadpuzzlelollol27437366336zzzj). Solve the resulting puzzle (identical to the original puzzle). The database will not mark this as a solve.

I suspect it may also be the case that these two different puzzles may end up having separate entries in the DB if someone posts a link with the / to Twitter.

This seems fine to me. Does it happen often that the same puzzle gets posted with different URLs?

(It's not impossible to attempt to normalize the URLs, I just don't see that it's necessarily worth the effort.)

I haven't yet come across such a case where two identical puzzles with slightly different URLs like this both end up in the DB, but it does happen sometimes that someone links e.g. https://puzz.link/p?icebarn/11/11/badpuzzlebadpuzzlelollol27437366336zzzj/ elsewhere (such as on Discord) when the URL in the database was https://puzz.link/p?icebarn/11/11/badpuzzlebadpuzzlelollol27437366336zzzj.
