Urls

Simpliest Distributed Url Shortener

Building

Use godep for dependencies management so ensure it's installed before proceeding with next steps. To build the code:

1. Checkout this source tree: $ git clone https://github.com/aandryashin/urls.git
2. Download dependencies: $ godep restore
3. Build as usually: $ go build
4. Run compiled binary: ./urls --help

Running

As distributed storage Urls uses etcd daemon, so run it first in separate terminal, then run urls:

$ etcd
$ ./urls
2016/10/02 21:26:51 Serving [::]:8080 with pid 8132

Check it with:

$ curl http://localhost:8080 -d'{"url" : "http://www.google.com"}'
{"url":"4"}
$ curl http://localhost:8080/4
<a href="http://www.google.com">Moved Permanently</a>.

Enable https support:

$ ./urls -http :8080 -https :8443
2016/10/03 10:07:35 Serving [::]:8080, [::]:8443 with pid 11660 

$ curl -L -k http://localhost:8080 -d'{"url" : "http://www.google.com"}'
{"url":"8"}
$ curl -k http://localhost:8080/8
<a href="https://[::]:8443/8">Temporary Redirect</a>.

To run with several etcd nodes, you have to provide them with endpoints option.
