Remove tracking from AWS SES click tracking. #136

Closed toothbrush closed 3 years ago

toothbrush commented 4 years ago

Description

I receive a lot of newsletters and transactional emails sent with Amazon's Simple Email Service (SES). These offer "click tracking", which by default go via the awstrack.me domain. This filter strips the actual destination URL out of the link and visits that instead.

Note that this is my first attempt at a PR against requestcontrol, so please let me know if there's something i can improve. The filter works for me, but i'm not sure if it's robust or general enough.

Example URL

From the tedium.co newsletter:

Original URL: http://9qh8qcxb.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/http:%2F%2Fwww.khd-research.net%2FTech%2FComputer%2FPBug%2Fpbug_mathisen.txt%3Futm_source=Tedium%26utm_campaign=Tedium_09_04_2020%26utm_medium=email/1/010001745adc30c9-e69db973-8a14-4609-a7bd-c1be2ce1da1d-000000/24c9TGVBgO3Ij_yBXw01wIbRPRM=178

Together with the other default filter rules, that is then stripped down to http://www.khd-research.net/Tech/Computer/PBug/pbug_mathisen.txt before the browser actually visits the link.
