I have three websites that I want to generate tiny urls for search result pages every time someone clicks search. I like the http://bit.ly api and the fact that it offers tracking. However, it requires me to provide a password and does not offer ssl support. Does anyone know of a similar service that offers tracking, and a https accessib...

I've seen the many different ways I can build a function/service to generate short URLs which I can then control via my own domain. This sounds like a great idea; however, as I look at the advantages such as being able to control these URLs long term, adjusting the end location if needed have more tracking over where they wind up, etc. ...

I'm writing a URL shortener similar to tinyurl and I'm wondering how to keep track of URL's that are already shortened using my service? For example, tinyurl generates the same tiny URL for the same long URL regardless of who creates it. How can this be achieved that is scalable? Bitly also does this though they generate a new URL per pe...
Hi ... we use super-long Hashes for the Registration of new Users in our Application. The Problem is that these Hashes break in some Email Clients - making the Links unusable. I tried implementing the Tinyurl - API, with a simple Call, but i think it times out sometimes ... sometimes the mail does not reach the user. I updated the Code...
I have just scraped a bunch of Google Buzz data, and I want to know which Buzz posts reference the same news articles. The problem is that many of the links in these posts have been modified by URL shorteners, so it could be the case that many distinct shortened URLs actually all point to the same news article. Given that I have millio...
Hello all. I've noticed that some form processors make a mess out of posted TinyURLs (converting the thing to a broken 'tinyurl": "http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/whatever", "ok": tr') while leaving alone other plain URLs. I've seen it happen in WordPress, and I've seen it here on SO (eg.: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2508690/whats-the-m...

Current .htaccess is: Options +FollowSymLinks Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php...

All's good but on the final stage, when the user needs to post their choices to a form, the character cannot be sent ...
I have been wondering how tiny url works. I would like to develop something similar for my site, but as most people, I use GUIDs for ids. When an object is created, should I then generate a 10 character random string to use as public id, or is there a smarter approach? Example of old url: www.mysite.com/default.aspx?userId={id} Exampl...
Hi there, I'm interested in creating tiny url like links. My idea was to simply store an incrementing identifier for every long url posted and then convert this id to it's base 36 variant, like the following in PHP: $tinyurl = base_convert($id, 10, 36) The problem here is that the result is guessable, while it has to be hard to guess...

I've created a script called spiralurl (tiny url script). I'm still learning and making changes as I go. One thing I can't get fixed is to check that the user entered url already exists in the database, if it does exist I want output to the user the already shorted url previously created. Script is at: http://redspiral.net/spiralurl An...
