pageContext.urlOriginal contains unusual .pageContext.json

[openscript]

Hey Vikeings

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but I'm struggling with pageContext.urlOriginal:

1. I navigate to /en/ and pageContext.urlOriginal points to /en/ in my global +onBeforeRoute as expected.
2. I use a link (HTML <a> inside the page) that leads to /en/ again.
3. Inside the global +onBeforeRoute the pageContext.urlOriginal is set to /en/index.pageContext.json.

My settings are { prerender: true, disableUrlNormalization: true } but it's the same when I deactivate them.

Any idea why this might is happening?

Thank you

It seems like it's linked to https://vike.dev/pageContext.json. What options I do have here?

1. Make everything client side?
2. Use some regular expression to remove index.pageContext.json from the url?
3. Use pageContext.urlParsed and puzzle together the URL is it is displayed in the address bar? This is tricky to do right, as urlParsed doesn't respect disableUrlNormalization regarding trailing slashes.

I'm not sure I understand your issue. What is it you want to achieve?

I've used urlOriginal and it contained index.pageContext.json, but I understand know, that I should use urlParsed.

FYI pageContext.urlParsed is going to be renamed pageContext.url hopefully further incentivizing users to use this instead of urlOriginal.
