This program uses a database to generate a static php file for 301-Redirects. Basically it's your own shortlinker.
Create a database. MySQL Schema for example:
SET NAMES utf8;
SET time_zone = '+00:00';
CREATE TABLE `redirects` (
`slug` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`target` varchar(512) NOT NULL,
`expiration_date` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`slug`),
UNIQUE KEY `slug` (`slug`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;Save your database credentials as an SQLAlchemy connection string in connection.py
shortlinker creates a .htaccess file with all the necessary rewrites, so make sure you enable config overriding in your VHost definition.
For nginx use this little config snippet:
location / {
rewrite (.*)$ /index.php?slug=$1;
}
shortlinker.py -h
shortlinker.py --slug "Handling exceptions" --target https://wiki.python.org/moin/HandlingExceptions --out /path/to/output
shortlinker.py -l
or
shortlinker.py --list
This would be the generated output for above execution:
<?php
$slug = $_GET["slug"];
switch($slug) {
case "handling-exceptions":
header("Location: https://wiki.python.org/moin/HandlingExceptions", true, 301);
exit();
default:
http_response_code(404);
?>
