fossurl's Issues

fossurl.ml Down

Unable to reach - fossurl.ml.

Not converting protocol correctly when input differs from the allowed.

When i type something like adasdasd://google.com, it doenst remove the invalid protocol and append the allowed one("http://", "https://", "ftp://").

An example:

The url after:

Stored XSS security bug

Steps to reproduce:

Use the chrome console to remove the clientside URL check:

Enter malicous "javascript:" URL

Send link around to phish people using defacements or CSRF to other sites.

Inserting an URL without 'http(s)://' breaks functionality

While testing, I noticed that putting an URL without the entire http://-preamble means the page won't forward to the shortened URL correctly.

For example:
Inputting only 'cnn.com', I got this URL: https://fossurl.palash.tk/#o1snc2 - Going to it gives a 404 as it expands to https://fossurl.palash.tk/cnn.com

Perhaps do a check in JavaScript for the presence of the 'http://' or 'https://', and if it isn't there, add it?

Not working

Not Working because jsonstore.io is having some trouble for many days
can you please rewrite the script for using with other such free json hosts
like jsonbox.io ?

JSONstore allows anyone to just purge the list using DELETE requests.

Do a backup before somebody deletes it!

[Internationalization] Add Translations

Suggestion

Currently FossURL is only available in English. It would be useful if it had multiple language support but without effecting the performance!

Some Languages Would Be:

• Bengali
• Chinese
• Hindi
• Spanish
• French
  etc.

Demo Fails To Do Anything

I visited the " >Working Demo<" in the readme file posted on this project, the link resolves to

 https://fossurl.palash.tk/

and entered "http://www.google.com" in the box and pushed the button "Short Me" and nothing happens, it is as if the button was nonfunctional.

Feat: Add Link Error Checking

For example, if I did not enter a link, show an error or toast when I try to generate link. I was able to generate a link without entering anything.

I was also able to enter stuff like asdasd and . and still get a link.

jsonconnect.com is gone! 😔

The website, github repo - everything has vanished into thin air.

ADD SUPPORT FOR CUSTOM URLs

I tried a few ways, but none of them worked perfectly! All are commented now

jsonbox will soon be shut down on May 31st, 2021

The notice from their website https://jsonbox.io/

Note: Jsonbox.io cloud instance will soon be shut down on May 31st, 2021 due to lack of maintenance time. The Jsonbox.io's source code will continue to be open-sourced in Github.

FYI, you can create your own Jsonbox.io instance for free using Heroku & MongoDB Cloud. Go for it if you love Jsonbox.io :)

Logo proposal

Hello. I want to contribute voluntarily to the project. I designed this logo for you. What do you think?

it doesnt working

Jsonbox.io alternative since it is shutting down.

Custom Links Don't Work

If you enter any character into the Custom URL input, the "Shorten Me" button will not work until you clear the Custom URL input.
