Hi Clay,

It looks like a mix of circumstances have caused this problem.

When a link is added to the system, we first of all check if the website allows 
for embedding or not using a HEAD request. If the website doesn't allow for 
embedding, the UI will display a notification with the link to the website 
instead of trying to embed the actual website on the page. In this case, it 
looks like the HEAD request connection is not being closed properly for some 
reason, which causes an error to be reported and the UI to fall back to its 
default behaviour. We haven't figured out why exactly the connection isn't 
being closed, so I've created a GitHub ticket [1] to follow up on this.

Once the content metadata widget is available, we will also have a place where 
you can consistently get hold of the URL.

Hope that helps,
Nicolaas
