any url shortener allows immediate request parameters?
by Michael Uplawski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MCYP)
Good morning
Do you know of an url shortener service online that still reacts to a full request, like with wget or curl, complete with parameters (in april 2024, that is)?
The examples I find on the Web are outdated, my tests have shown that this does not work any more with most of the services used a while ago.
So, if I am interpreting this correctly, you have to access via the start page and fill out a form, each time. I am installing the Rust urlshortener for cli and am at Updating crates.io index" for half an hour.
Now it downloads tons of dependencies, while all that I wanted was parse some HTML.
:(
Edit: I can write a Selenium- or Watir Webdriver bot. The problem is that I want to *recommend* something to others. I can skip the whole topic, too, if need be.
Edit II: (off-topic) The Watir Web-Site at https://www.watir.com is down, but the content is copied to https://watir.github.io/. For those who want to know.
TIA
