Python tool to expand short URLs

In one of my last posts, I posted a code snippet which demonstrated how to use php to expand short URLs to their original long form. Here’s the Python version I coded a few minutes ago.

Python 3:

import http.client
from urllib.parse import urlparse
url = input("\nEnter URL:\n>>>").strip()
t = urlparse(url)
print("\n-----Connecting-----\n\n")
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection(t.netloc)
conn.request("GET", t.path)
print(conn.getresponse().getheader("Location"))
print("\n\n");

import http.client

from urllib.parse import urlparse

url = input("\nEnter URL:\n>>>").strip()

t = urlparse(url)

print("\n-----Connecting-----\n\n")

conn = http.client.HTTPConnection(t.netloc)

conn.request("GET", t.path)

print(conn.getresponse().getheader("Location"))

print("\n\n");

These codes are for Python 3. The tool was developed for CLI use.

PHP

PHP-CLI: Expand Short URLs

This is a modified version of the code snippet available at: http://hasin.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/expanding-short-urls-to-original-urls-using-php-and-curl/#comment-68180

It’s a php command line tool to expand a provided short url.

<?php
echo "\n\nEnter URL:\n>>> ";
$url = trim(fgets(STDIN));
echo "\n\n";
$h = get_headers($url,true);
// print_r($h);
echo "Original URL:   {$h['Location']} \n\n";
?>

<?php

echo "\n\nEnter URL:\n>>> ";

$url = trim(fgets(STDIN));

echo "\n\n";

$h = get_headers($url,true);

// print_r($h);

echo "Original URL: {$h['Location']} \n\n";

Python CLI App to update friendfeed: My way

I wrote a python CLI program to use the mobile friendfeed publisher at https://masnun.com/ff/.

It just posts the credentials to the mobile page, then the mobile page makes the update to friendfeed.
