daverix / urlforwarder Goto Github PK

To be able to downgrade to 0.3 I had to deinstall 0.4. Now all the configured URLs are gone.
Also with changing/adding devices it would be great to be able to export/import the database of configured URLs.
I have tried finding if the information is stored in an accessible folder that can be copied, but failed.

When the characters ":" and "/" are within the replaced text, they are encoded into their HTML strings "%3A" and "%2F".
For example, "https://www.google.com/" becomes "https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F".
This may be the proper behavior for strings to be used in a query, however when this occurs for URLs to be used with the site "web.archive.org", it is unrecognizable. The URL "https://web.archive.org/web/*/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F" does not work, and is not recognized because the website expects the full unencoded URL as part of the string.
An option to disable this selectively would be a good solution. Otherwise, this app is very useful and works fine.

Since the 0.4 update the app keeps crashing. Doesn't even try to connect to the URL it should forward to.

To give people a better idea of what they're working with and installing.

Trying to use this to forward URLs to a service, which means I need to pass along some form of authentication. Would you be willing to add the ability to send arbitrary headers, specifically Authorization tokens?

Hi,

Thanks for the app. I'd like to use it for the following use case by I can't figure out how to do it:

When browsing the url www.example.com/t, I would like to automatically redirect to www.example.com/m.
(I.e, I just want to replace the t at the end of the url by a m.)

I have tried many different configurations but none of them worked. Could you help me on this?

Thanks a lot!

First of all, thanks for the project, this is exactly what I needed! I started using Pinboard and was looking for the best way to use the bookmarklet on my phone.

The only thing I was missing was forwarding the page title, not only URL. I thought it should be pretty simple to add, and it turned out you already did it in the newest version, not yet released.

I was able to build an .apk for myself, but maybe you would consider making a release? Forwarding the title is a really valuable feature.

First of all, I give you two screenshots, that show how I use this app.

The original feature of your app, is to share a URL to another URL. Besides this, I also use it to "share a sequence to a URL". For example, copy the app package name, then share to a URL to open Play Store, or copy the id/username, share to a URL to open the Twitter page, etc.

All the usages, is to add a sequence of words to form a URL. My suggestion is, to share a URL, extract a part from the URL, then add to another URL. For example, share an app in Play Store, extract the app package name, then add to the link of F-Droid

Thank you for making this. I was looking for this a long time.

When shared using a webbrowser on Android only the URL is forwarded. That's what we want, so that the destination can decide what to do with it. E.g.: https://destination.tld/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fopensourceforu.com%2F2017%2F01%2Frenault-leverages-open-source-build-electric-car-projects%2F

But some apps (like Inoreader) share a string like this: "Title word1 word2 etc https://url.tld". This is unfortunately forwarded as an URL and the destination can't do anything with that. E.g.: https://destination.tld/?url=Renault+leverages+open+source+to+build+electric+car+projects+http%3A%2F%2Fopensourceforu.com%2F2017%2F01%2Frenault-leverages-open-source-build-electric-car-projects%2F

Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to put something in the 'Replaceable text' field and what exactly? Or is this something that needs to be fixed in the code?

Hi, this app is a godsend.. but could it be made to catch android.intent.action.VIEW as well? Say in a telegram channel (telefeedbot) I want to view some URLs but have them intercepted by this app.

It generates

Unfortunately the url forwarder app is not matched.. otherwise it would be ideal for my purpose.

If there is only one filter configured, is it an idea to skip the 'Choose filter' dialog? So that an user goes directly to the webbrowser.
