Could not extract user and post_id from URL

Error message

Could not extract user and post_id from URL

What it means

In `native_get_media_info` (src-tauri/src/platforms/bluesky/mod.rs:33), `Self::extract_user_and_post(url)` failed to pull a valid username and post id (rkey) out of the given Bluesky URL, so the function aborts before calling the AppView API. The URL was not in a recognized bsky.app post format.

Solutions

1. Verify the URL matches the expected post format: https://bsky.app/profile/<handle>/post/<rkey>.
2. Strip query strings and fragments before passing the URL.
3. Resolve alternate-domain links to the canonical bsky.app form first.
4. Improve `extract_user_and_post` to handle additional URL shapes (at:// URIs, staging domains).

Example fix

// before
let (user, post_id) = Self::extract_user_and_post(url)
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("Could not extract user and post_id from URL"))?;
// after
let url = url.split('?').next().unwrap_or(url);
let (user, post_id) = Self::extract_user_and_post(url)
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("Could not extract user and post_id from URL: {}", url))?;

fn looks_like_bsky_post(url: &str) -> bool {
    let u = url.split('?').next().unwrap_or(url);
    u.starts_with("https://bsky.app/profile/") && u.matches("/post/").count() == 1
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a URL that is not a bsky.app profile post link (e.g. a profile root, a search page, a shortened/rebranded host, or a malformed link) to get_media_info, so the regex/parser finds no user/post_id pair.

Common situations: Users paste their profile URL instead of a post URL; links copied from the Bluesky web app include extra query params or use alternate domains; URLs with escaped or truncated post ids.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Invalid URL" errors: why new URL(), URI.parse, and reqwest::Url reject your string — missing scheme, whitespace, and bad path format — this error's family across 39 libraries.
