ranchjae.blogg.se - Can you shorten google drive url

If it was hacked, you would have a nice place to inject some bad redirects. Of course, that's just a new single point of failure.

If there were enough users, the metrics on these redirects would go way down, making them much less useful. This wouldn't do much good for one person, but sharing that cache among all users could. I often play with the idea of a browser extension that resolves all of these for you when they appear on the page, then caches them. I've had issues where t.co breaks for a minute and I can't click any links on twitter. Get notified of your software’s bugs as they happen!

If you prefer long URLs, you can also get to this post from Oh, and just to be obnoxious, I've created to make the point. The second request to the same URL is better, but still frustratingly indirect.Įvery redirect is a one more point of failure, one more domain that can rot, one more server that can go down, one more layer between me and the content. Redirects are being abused and I don't see any work happening in HTTP 2.0 to change it. And getting me a web page is kind of the most important thing the web does. That's a lot of back and forth just to get me a a web page. goo.gl is what you'd think it is, it's Google's URL shortener.They are bouncing me around in order to set marketing cookies because it's the first time they've seen me. trib.al is a URL shortener that provides marketing analytics.

This means Twitter can stop malware faster, they say.

t.co is twitter's URL shortener that acts as a "safety gate" that allows Twitter to shut down a bad URL at the Twitter level.

Note also that after it bounced around three of Slate's URL shorteners, it also goes through goog.gl as well. It would have been 8 redirects if I'd counted t.co as well. That's SEVEN HTTP 301s, count them, 7, before I get to the destination page. When I visited it for the FIRST time, I got this lovely HTTP interaction. It was a custom short URL - but since I was visiting it via Twitter, it was wrapped with Twitter's t.co URL, so I really started at. I saw a URL today on Twitter to an article on.
