The offensive URL lengthener

insurlt: An offensive URL-lengthener service

Introduction

This is a webapp that creates redirects to user-supplied URLs, the same way the more common URL-shortener services do (bit.ly, goo.gl, t.co). Except it makes them very long, and full of obscenities.

It is written in C++, the obvious tool for the job.

This service used to exist as clique-salope.com, however it looks like it has now been discontinued. Being such an important piece of the modern Internet, someone had to put it back online.

How to setup

You will need CMake, SQLite3, the fastcgi development kit, and a C++11 compiler like GCC >=4.6 or Clang >=2.9.

Simply configure your web server to point to the insurlt.fcgi binary. You will need to update the source to match your domain name and favorite insults.

insurlt's Issues

SQLite3 transactions

Un-hardcode domain name and insults

Support HTTPS

Using a wildcard certificate *.click-bitch.ovh is not enough, because it only supports one level (* cannot expand to a string with dots). Letsencrypt doesn't support multiple wildcard (*.*.*.click-bitch.ovh).

A viable option might be to replace . with another character, but DNS has a very limited character set.

Write HTML thing

SQLite3 is slow and boring, use Berkeley DB
