node-expand-url's Issues

Need a hack for few url expanders

Hello, for some urls the expander does not work. It returns the same url. However using it on browser, redirects to the new url.

var urlExpander=require('expand-url');

var url = 'http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/link/375e7272fdc87a7db2d21e25ab9c8320';
urlExpander.expand(url, function(err, longUrl){
    console.log(longUrl);
});

Could you please update your code so that it doesn't rely on deprecated dependencies

❯ npm install expand-url

Expansion does not work for Facebook short urls

Example :

https://fb.me/6VeR6oHIs should redirect to http://kannadamatinee.in/bangalore_police_video/.

But its not, the module is giving back the initial url which has been provided to it. This is the case for all Facebook short urls. ie, the urls starting with fb.me
