This little tool allows to create tiny URL (http://tinyurl.com ) from the command line. The TinyURL proc can also be used in othe scripts for TinyURL creation.
package require http
# - TinyURL
#
# Create a simple alias URL from a possibly long and complicated one
# using the http://tinyurl.com service
#
# in: The URL to be made tiny
# out: The tiny URL
#
proc TinyURL {url} {
set query [::http::formatQuery url $url]
set token [::http::geturl http://tinyurl.com/create.php -query $query]
if {[::http::ncode $token] != 200} {
return -code error [::http::data $token]
}
set RE {^<input type=hidden name=tinyurl value="(.*)">$}
if {![regexp -line $RE [::http::data $token] -> turl]} {
return -code error \
"http://tinyurl.com has probably changed the output format."
}
::http::cleanup $token
return $turl
}
if {$argc != 1} {
puts "usage: [info script] url"
exit 1
}
puts [TinyURL [lindex $argv 0]]
