Resource Handling Errors for redirects and links upon webpage snapshot

Error 1:

During a webpage snapshot, Zotero does not snapshot a resource if it included in a document using a URI which redirects to the URL.

To Reproduce:
Take a snapshot of the MDN page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Bird_s_Eye_View_of_the_Mozilla_Framework.
The image HELP.png with
URI - https://developer.mozilla.org/@api/deki/files/252/=en/Media_Gallery/Help.PNG
which redirects to
URL - https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/474/Help.PNG
is not saved along with the webpage.

If one were to save the webpage through the browser (I have tried it in Firefox and Chrome), the corresponding resource is saved.

Error 2:
Certain URL (I am guessing unsafe ones) on the same page are saved twice.

To Reproduce:
Take a snapshot of the MDN page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Bird_s_Eye_View_of_the_Mozilla_Framework.
All Link symbols appear twice: once with <a> tags containing unsafe URL and the second time with a safe URL.

Unlike the previous case this seems to occur when one saves the page in Firefox and Chrome - so it may well be a CSS issue. In any case the webpage fidelity remains the issue.

I do not think that the report ID is itself relevant.
