On the Twitter web interface, I'm trying to tweet - for several weeks - this exact sentence:

D. B. Cooper https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

But this is totally impossible: I always get an internal server error message for an unknown reason. This is what I get in Firebug:

I poked the Twitter support, but no response since weeks. Anyone have an idea?

According to a question posted around the same time on Stack Overflow, Twitter would not allow for additional dots in URLs to be included in a post. Not from a technical point of view, but by the choice of Twitter. (This is evidenced by URLs containing additional dots working in Facebook around the same time.)

However since then, Twitter appears to have allowed this to work:

Twitter_URL
