I have a question about hyperlinks in messages.
I have written a server monitoring application that sends out text messages to people on call with a hyperlink. The message looks like this:
(Server Alert) https://www.ourserver.com/alert.php?alert=8543492
The person who receives the text message can tap the link which launches a browser and read the alert.
Our staff has a wide variety of phones including Apple, Android, Microsoft and I think one BB. Out of 20 different phones I have two iPhones where this link doesn't work.
I have one person with an iPhone 6s and another with a 4s that when they tap on the message, it opens Safari, goes to the site but drops everything after .com.
So Safari gets this:
https://www.ourserver.com
instead of this:
https://www.ourserver.com/alert.php?alert=8543492
Obviously, this doesn't work.
I have an iPhone 4, 4s, and a 5s and they work perfectly every time. All the iPhones are running the latest iOS (9.2.1) across the board for everyone.
I am unsure if Messages is not passing everything after .com or if Safari is dropping everything after .com.
I have looked through the settings for Messages, Safari, and General and they seem ok.
Am I missing something?
The other brands and models of phones work great, so I'm stumped.
Thanks,
