I’ve made the last commit to [get-url.js](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/9f474b1c1c99c96f6b613a75854fe6cf9067e2d4/app/assets/javascripts/discourse-common/addon/lib/get-url.js), some time after the linked one.

I agree links shouldn’t be rewritten if they’re user-entered, maybe `getURL` shouldn’t be called in these scenarios? I think `getURL` is supposed to be used for Discourse default routes to “convert” them to the subfolder setup, it has some tests explicitly expecting this subfolder prepending:

Please let me know if I can be of any help.
