When discourse oneboxes URL, it doesn’t include query string in oembed request
1. I onebox [Apr 29, 2017 - metr.at | eMJRR](https://metr.at/r/eMJRR?zoom_start=2&zoom_end=5)
2. Onebox sends following request to the server:
`| GET /oembed?url=https://metr.at/r/eMJRR&format=json`
3. Instead I would like onebox to send this:
`| GET /oembed?url=https://metr.at/r/eMJRR?zoom_start=2&zoom_end=5&format=json`
Is it a bug or supposed to be like this?

It is weird for query strings to be relevant to a onebox request.

Well, maybe it is uncommon, but I don’t think it is wrong. Why not pass query string together with the request?

Hmm, we do parsing for Youtube URLs though.
