This is for a simple program that takes a URL as an input and copies to the the clipboard a list of websites that the provided link redirects to in the order in which they occured. Typical usage would work like this:
1. User is presented with a text field in which to enter a URL.
2. User pastes their URL to the field provided and presses Enter on keyboard.
3. Program makes the appropriate http/server requests to detect check to which websites the provided URL redirects to.
4. Program takes original URL and all the URL's it found and copies them to the clipboard as a block of text in the following format:
Linked Site: [original URL]
Redirected to: [1st URL it was redirected to]
Redirected to: [2nd URL it was redirected to]
Redirected to: [3rd URL it was redirected to]
(it would continue with the "Redirected to:" for however many redirections it found.
5. Program opens the very last URL found using default browser.
Example:
If the program is provided this URL: [login to view URL]
Program should copy this to the clipboard:
Linked Site: [login to view URL]
Redirected to: [login to view URL]
Redirected to: [login to view URL]
Program would then open the final link ([login to view URL]) in default browser.
Other URL's to try are listed below (these come from credit card offers in my email spam). Each of these links has a few redirections until you end up at credit card company's website.
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
Dear Project Owner, I totally understand the requirements. I'm an expert in Python and gathering links as you mentioned is easier using python. I'm also good at C++ but that would be my 2nd choice. I have done recent projects related to yours (kindly visit my profile for reference). Let me know if you like my offer. Naachiz
