Misdirected Request error on Safari

When using an iPhone + Safari and click on a hyperlink on www.meldgaard.com to fx "Læs mere" going to erhvervsaffald.meldgaard.com the error Misdirected Request happens (see image below).

The link has worked before on iPhones and the link has not been changed.

There is no issue on android nor on an iPad.

If I clear all history and browser data and disable the javascript the link works once and then the error is back.

Has anyone else had this error? Is it a bug that came with an Apple update?

Does anyone have a solution or know why Safari is acting this way?

Thanks in advance!

SOLVED: After borrowing an iPhone X I found the issue/solution. It was the settings in Experimental Features that was causing the problem.

"Blank anchor target" was enabled - when disabling it (making it white) all the links that opens in a new tab (blank) worked again.

The phone's owner had not changed anything after the new software update 12.2 was installed, so it must have been part of the ios update. It worked before updating to 12.2.
