Symfony api transforming long urls to cute tiny ones

tiny_url_api's Issues

Small issues during installation

I pulled down and installed the application, but ran into a few small issues. None of them prevented the app from loading but I wanted to log them just in case:

• During the ScriptHandler::buildParameters(), it outputs the database path with a template variable instead of the path: "('%kernel.root_dir%/data.db3'):"
• Symfony throws a ContextErrorException, citing "It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings." I fixed this by adding a date.timezone = "UTC" in my php.ini, but I think there's a way to detect this. I only raise this issue because I think it prevented the bin/console and server commands from properly running.
• The app doesn't provide any validation that the URL is in fact a URL. It will encode any string passed in via POST with the name 'url' to the create endpoint. This might not be a bug, because if I encode the string "asdasd" it re-routes to "localhost:8000/asdasd".
