I looked into this issue and this is because Overwatch Forum is returning different headers when making HEAD request (instead of GET).

```

Since Onebox is [making HEAD request](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/b059a0f789d1953cc0c6e6c2ae86a39e98f42790/lib/final_destination.rb#L82-L86) to resolve the URL before actually oneboxing it, the final URL is different than provided.

Changing `FinalDestination` library to make GET request (instead of HEAD) fixes this issue, but I am not sure if that is the correct approach here (since we don’t need the response body in `FinalDestination` library). What do you think @eviltrout?
