URLZipper

by c3nes ·

Due to abuse from spammers I decided to close down the backend service of URLZipper.

Description

Admin(s): If you read this, please remove this widget, as I requested months ago. URLZipper makes short URLs of your long and complicated web addresses. Convenient when including web addresses in emails, forum postings or blog entries.

    This widget isn't working for me -- I'm attempting to use it to miniaturize a relatively lengthy URL that uses the GET data to fill a form -- here's a tiny URL of the url in question: http://tinyurl.com/jntaf The error I get is "invalid url http://" under the text entry box in your widget.

    That URL was a real acid test Well, the server side script has been fixed. Please give it another try

    I didn't say it was a simple URL -- When I need a short url, I really need a short URL It works splendidly, now -- looks like I'm pinny another widget on my desktop -- Is 7ref yours? I might switch rereplace to using it rather than tinyurl. It's shorter than TinyURL and tinyURL doesn't have a nifty widget.

    Yep, it's mine. I'm glad you liked it

    This works famously! Thank you!

    Is there a limit to how long the simple version of the url works for?

    > Is there a limit to how long the simple version of the url works for? For the time being there is no limit.

    Sounds good, probably once widgets stay pined (meaning that you don't have to re-download it every time you start up opera) this will be one that i use.

    Well that's now.

    The tinyurl-widget, at http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4080 : - looks nicer - supports submitting with the Enter-button - takes up less memory The funny thing is that both is made in Oslo

    Your tinyurl widget is nice, Henrik > - takes up less memory I'll give you credit for the small size, but remember - by default Tinyurl produces URLs 3 Bytes larger than URLZipper

    Input long url press button and nothing. No response. Even more useless than Tinyurl, which you have to dl every time to use.

    Something must be wrong. Like the other said, after inserted a URL and press on the big blue button, nothing happened. Otherwise, would be a very useful widget.
