URL deletion
Hello,
It would be really helpful to be able to delete old / unused / rotten URLs, to be able to reuse some short-links, to update the URL.
KR, Bryan.
Deleting a URL in a URL shortener is generally a bad idea. One example is where URL malware scanners cache the URL to be healthy or not, and a bait and switch can be performed later if URL deletion is allowed. If you have to do it, you can always delete the entry in the SQlite DB, but as I said, that is usually not recommended.
True, if you plan to leave the URL shortener public and open without any account, audit, or consequences...
False if you plan to use it yourself and/or a couple of friend, or if there are accounts with audit enabled and in case of unauthorized / malware use, you can ban an entire domain from registering an account (you ban the free mail services and all the free .tk & .ml domains, and force users to have their own domain, you see how registering fake accounts start becoming expensive)
Sorry, I do not think I understand. This software does not have the concept of user accounts or sign ins. Just authentication/authorization for admin login. The protection is more for the receiver of the shortened link where their email provider/antivirus would have scanned the link and deemed it safe.
But if you are using it internally, I guess that does not matter, and reuse of links do become useful. Can be a toggle setting to enable/disable that.
