A simple tool for redirecting you.
Let's say you're trying to test a new OAuth connection on your local machine with something like Google but they require the redirect URL to have a domain with an approved TLD (because they don't allow things like localhost or .dev). You can use a RedirectMeTo url to redirect to your localhost.

Originally, RedirectMeTo was a simple PHP script running on a Digital Ocean droplet that redirected all requests except for the index that displays the homepage. Starting in November 2023 the root path is a static HTML file hosted with GitHub pages and redirects all happen via a CloudFlare worker that is running the following script:
export default {
async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
var url = new URL(request.url)
var redirectUrl = url.pathname.substring(1) + url.search
return Response.redirect(redirectUrl, 302)
}
}This allows for RedirectMeTo to run indefinitely for zero cost (except for the domain) and zero maintenance (serverless).
