Hi!
I recently checked the performance of the DecodeShortURI Plugin an noticed
some oddities:
*) snip.ly seems to need url_shortener_get
*) fb.me always responds with 200 even with GET and User-Agent set
*) t.co seems to respond with 200 if User-Agent is a "valid" Browser, but
with 30x redirects if I use plain lwp request. So currently the plugin
always sees 200 and is not usable with short_url_200(). Looks like it needs
a config option to set a second/alternative User-Agent for some shorteners.
*) .app.link seems to use JS to set window.top.location and always returns 200
*) linktr.ee seems to always return 200 ... doesn't even change to location
*) lnkd.in returns 200 for all external URLs which do not point to
linked.in itself presenting a warning page. Not usable with short_url_200
as well.
*) qrco.de seems to always return 200 and uses JS magic to load the pages
Especially the t.co behavior hurts a lot and limits the use of
SHORT_URL_200
Greetings, Wolfgang
