Short Url Decoder(SUD)

Demystifying redirects

repo

Description

A command line tool that allows you to either trace all the redirects of a given link or view the final destination.

Objctives

1. I want to refresh my familiarity with go
2. I want to gain a better understanding behind how redirects are handled, specifically how a client can interact with them.

What I learned

This was my first time implementing a roundtripper(or even the non default transport). I implemented the roundtripper interface so that I could log each destination. While the technical work was not challenging. It provided a friendly reminder that the world is not going to end if I throw myself into something new.
