[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] [Solved] gpx parameter in editor URL causes Application error (Issue #3540)

Because it was demonstrating that another site (Tasking Manager) was generating links to osm.org which a) loads the editor and b) also loads an arbitrary GPX file.

@answerquest has now solved their issue at hand, which is why sometimes the gpx param allow arbitrary urls, while other times the gpx param only take trace ids, because there's a difference between query params (after a `?`) which this codebase handles, and the fragment identifiers (`#`) which gets passed directly to iD.

I think it's confusing and unhelpful for developers to have two different ways of specifying GPX files to load in iD, but I don't think the current situation is deliberate, and I'm not sure how high a priority it would be to unify the different methods for passing parameters to iD to remove this confusion.
