Facebook appending fbclid with outbound links and web page showing 'ERR_CONNECTION_RESET'

I am facing this issue on linux and windows both.

I've a simple web application template with only one html page named index.html I've deployed it to linux and windows hosting.

Similarly, I've created a facebook page and I posted a link of my website.

When I click on link facebook opens up a new window and it's like wwww.foo.com/?fbclid=XXXXXXXXXXXX and web page does not load rather ERR_CONNECTION_RESET appears.

I've tried few solutions but nothing worked.

Linux Ubuntu

I checked the ningx access.log and when I click on outbound Url in facebook and it comes to my web pages following line appears in nginx access.log

[21/Jul/2020:13:10:05 +0500] "HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily" 400 182 "-" "-"

I've tried following block but it does nothing.

location / {

           error_page 302 =301 http://example.com/notfound.html;
 }

When an outbound link open up a web page its URL is like:

foo.com/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1RoE_FBHre-gTMc3IzkycdYHskuUBlVi4HfKQjuiBN0N4uryxWrKAcDpo

It appears with ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. If I will refresh the page manually it will show page but not from facebook post URL.

Window Server

Solution#1

In Web.config I've tried rule which is as follow:

<system.webServer>
      <rewrite>
        <rules>
          <rule name="SpecificRedirectFBClid" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="(.*)" />
              <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^fbclid=" />
              </conditions>
              <action type="Redirect" url="foo.com/{R:0}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
          </rule>
        </rules>
      </rewrite>
   </system.webServer>

Solution#2

I've also tried adding

<link rel="canonical" href="foo.com">   
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="CACHE">

My end goal is to load website. It does not matter either fbclid appears in query parameter or not.

When I click on my website link in facebook post it opens up it in a new window with error. But when I refresh page in the same window it load smoothly.

I've read multiple forums and blogs but could not get anything for ASP.NET Web application.

FINAL SOLUTION

I got the solution. My application was running on http and once I changed http to https everything started working. I think at my server I had SSL certificate which was not configured. I am not sure what was the cause. But once I changed http to https everything worked as expected.
