The onebox feature in Discourse stopped working for daath on their main site. They investigated and found that the onebox’er sends a HEAD request, which their site does not support, resulting in a 501 Not Implemented error.
eviltrout explained that this is a recent change to improve security with redirects. He planned to modify the onebox’er to try a GET request if the HEAD request receives a 501 error.
eviltrout later fixed the issue, which involved supporting cookies on redirects in addition to trying GET requests. The fix is documented in several GitHub commits:
As a result, the onebox feature now works again for daath on their main site.
These kind of links worked not very long ago:

Producing oneboxes like this:
But not any longer - I tried inputting them on:
But I couldn’t see what was wrong… Especially when I compared the output to Discourse’s own output…
Can someone point me in the right direction?
No insight on this? I still doesn’t work on my site (which used to work fine)…
It’s only been 2 days. You have to give us a little while to get to things 
haha sorry, you’re right - it did prompt me to investigate further.
It looks like the onebox’er sends a HEAD request, which would explain it not working on my site, as I only support GET and POST. Doing a HEAD results in a 501 Not Implemented. When did this change?
Ah, this is a recent change to improve security with redirects.
I’ve been meaning to make it so that if the HEAD request receives a 501 it tries a GET. I will add that to my list.
Excellent. Now I know why, and that the problem is in very capable hands. Now I just have to ask my users to be patient Thanks! 
It’s fixed now:

Was quite involved. The fix wasn’t as simple as to try HTTP GET, but it also involved supporting cookies on redirects which our more secure redirector did not do. Both are supported now.
