[🐞] SSG Link componet strips search parameters

[handymenny]

Which component is affected?

Qwik City (routing)

Describe the bug

Since qwik 1.7.0, Link component strips search parameters.

For example:
Static adapter origin is http://localhost:9999

• I click a Link that should route to http:/localhost:9999/view?id=42 -> it will route to http:/localhost:9999/view
• I click a Link that should route to http:/127.0.0.1:9999/view?id=42 -> it will route to http:/127.0.0.1:9999/view?id=42

I would expect both links to route to [scheme]://[origin]:[port]/view?id=42

Reproduction

• Run:

  npm ci
  npm run build
  npx serve dist -p 9999

• Open http://localhost:9999
• Click the two links

• does also this happen with spa navigation?
• does the HTML contain the search string in the <a> tag?

[handymenny]

• does the HTML contain the search string in the <a> tag?

Yes. This is the link that works:

<a href="http://127.0.0.1:9999/view/?id=42" q:key="AD_1">
<!--qv q:s q:sref=7 q:key=-->
http://127.0.0.1:9999/view/?id=42
<!--/qv-->
</a>`

This is the link not working:

<a q:link="" href="/view/?id=42" data-prefetch="" on:click="#0
q-DhbmnlE1.js#s_pIf0khHUxfY[0 1 1 1]" on:mouseover="q-DhbmnlE1.js#s_Osdg8FnYTw4" on:focus="q-DhbmnlE1.js#s_Osdg8FnYTw4" on:qvisible="q-DhbmnlE1.js#s_Osdg8FnYTw4" q:key="AD_1" q:id="9">
<!--qv q:s q:sref=8 q:key=-->
http://localhost:9999/view/?id=42
<!--/qv-->
</a>

• does also this happen with spa navigation?

I'm using Link, so it should already be SPA navigation, or am I wrong?

useNavigate() has the same issue, raw html anchors don't have this issue.

---

One workaound I have found is to use a url that isn't exactly the right one as the origin of the static adapter.
For instance, http://abc.xy vs https://abc.xy.
The only side effect is that the canonical urls and the sitemap change.

Sorry I meant, does it work with regular SSR, not SSG?

[handymenny]

Yes. I tried with nodejs adapter and it works.

This is the command I ran (powershell):

$env:ORIGIN='http://localhost:9999'; $env:PORT='9999'; npm run serve
