I can't check this because I'm on mobile, but I presume Stack Overflow uses a canonical tag in the HTML to state their preference that the longer version with the slug should be the default, because that's the one search engines use.


Stack Overflow returns with a 301 and a location header containing the slug.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16245767

Responds with a 301 and a location header value of `/questions/16245767/creating-a-blob-from-a-base64-string-in-javascript`
