02:54 🔗 atphoenix I find it ironic that IA uses URL shorteners...2 instances of tiny.cc here: https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360017876312-How-do-I-make-a-physical-donation-to-the-Internet-Archive-
02:57 🔗 Somebody2 eh, it's ArchiveTeam that hates them, not IA. :-)
02:57 🔗 Somebody2 but we should be grabbing tiny.cc ; can you give me the relevant detail, and I'll add it?
03:07 🔗 atphoenix well, they appear to offer a mix of custom and random, as IA is using https://tiny.cc/musicdonationform and https://tiny.cc/DonationForm
03:09 🔗 atphoenix more info, including on other shorteners too https://www.intelligenteconomist.com/url-shortener-services/
03:22 🔗 ivan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
03:23 🔗 ivan has joined #urlteam
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 atphoenix: what I need to add it is: https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=URLTeam#Researching_URL_Shorteners
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 I'll quote it here:
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 Is there a public method to create a shorturl? If so, create one and include it in the entry. If not, note that in the entry.
03:24 🔗 svchfoo3 sets mode: +o ivan
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 If you were able to create a shorturl, try making a second. Is it sequential?
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 Run curl -I http://url.short/validshortcode and see which HTTP status code is returned. Also note whether it returns the destination in the Location: header.
03:24 🔗 Somebody2 Run curl -I http://url.short/invalidshortcode and see which HTTP status code is returned.
03:26 🔗 Somebody2 Also, check if capitalization matters, by trying a working shortcode with varying capitalization, and seeing if it fails.
03:26 🔗 Somebody2 atphoenix: I'd LOVE to add tiny.cc -- but I don't have the time to do the above. If you do...

03:36 🔗 ivan has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 745 seconds)
04:13 🔗 atphoenix Somebody2, https://tiny.cc/ allows for both random and custom results. Anyone can do create a shortened random or custom URL via the homepage.
04:14 🔗 atphoenix http://tiny.cc/17siiz = http://news.google.com
04:14 🔗 atphoenix capitalization DOES matter
04:17 🔗 atphoenix 2 more shortened URLs made in close succession:
04:17 🔗 atphoenix http://tiny.cc/5btiiz http://www.google.com
04:17 🔗 atphoenix http://tiny.cc/yctiiz http://www.youtube.com
04:27 🔗 atphoenix curl -I shows me the same result for valid and invalid shortcodes: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
04:27 🔗 atphoenix in the browser, the redirect goes to a different location
04:35 🔗 atphoenix I get different results if I put https in front, instead of http
04:37 🔗 atphoenix also note, I was using curl on Win10. I don't know if this curl version behaves different from the version on Linux
05:24 🔗 ivan_ is now known as ivan
05:29 🔗 Somebody2 atphoenix: thanks, that's very useful!
05:29 🔗 Somebody2 What are the redirections for http, and https, and valid and invalid?
05:30 🔗 Somebody2 Presumably valid redirects to the intended redirection target?
05:30 🔗 Somebody2 it's weird that it looks like it's in order, but backwards?
05:30 🔗 Somebody2 and please add all the above to the wiki page
05:31 🔗 Somebody2 running curl on windows is fine
06:03 🔗 atphoenix i'll need to check more tomorrow
06:03 🔗 atphoenix might have to do with google redirecting to https, while I setup the tiny.cc to http
06:04 🔗 atphoenix i think i see 404 via Chrome Dev view
06:04 🔗 atphoenix for a non-configured url
