Current to-do-list:

- connect UI with the backend
- make proxies work
- redeploy to heroku or smth else
- add some tests for the main logic
Feel free to edit this Readme as you contribute and change the scope of work and/or the behaviour of the application!
- detects two types of redirects:
- by HTTP 3xx status and
- by HTML tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="{url}">
- prevents redirection loops,
- limits one redirection chain up to 20 entries,
- prints cookies acquired by visiting those urls and
- supports relative urls (first url must include protocol though)
- supports routing through proxies (redirection can depend on location)
- /track/{url} - track url redirecting
- /pulse - see server status
- /proxies - see list of provided proxies
- /gui - Graphical User Interface
PS: proxy will only be enabled for /track/ endpoint when you append ?proxy= query and proxy code XX to the end.
Proxy allows to route service's traffic through remote server in selected region.
