Functional specification
The software handles HTTP requests to alias domains (e.g. blackbrick.asia) and redirects the request to a primary domain (e.g. blackbrick.com.au). The software also allows users to 'shrink' URLs by entering a long URL and getting back a short URL that will link to the long one. Basically it's a HTTP redirection tool.
Technical specification
The system is implemented in PHP and MySQL and designed to integrate with the Apache web server.
TODO
Things to do, in rough order of priority:
- Create the project in svn
- Migrate jjweblink project to pcweblink
- Design and implement database
- Design and implement domain name redirector (e.g. test.blackbrick.asia -> www.blackbrick.com.au)
- Design and implement short name redirector (e.g. jj5.blkbrk.me -> jj5.blackbrick.com)
- Design and implement URL shrinker (e.g. blkbrk.me/10 -> www.jj5.net)
Done
Stuff that's done. Latest stuff on top.
