Short URLs help pass URLs of pages to other people in a way that may be easier to remember or type.
One challenge of short URLs is that they hide the actual destination URLs. If the pages of destination URLs have security issues, the users that get short URLs may not be aware of that until they access the short URL destination pages.
This package finds and returns the destination URLs of a given short URL. It may also return any intermediary URLs that browsers may need to access until they reach the final destination URL.
This way, developers may use security tools for auditing the safety of the final destination of the short URL, as well as all intermediary URLs.
