A GUI for urlx
Originally published on: Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:14:25 +0000
I've added a small GUI interface to urlx. The new program is called viewurlx
Enter the original URL in the textbox at the top...
...and click "Expand"
You should see a result such as:
viewurlx.cs
// ViewURLX.cs - Simple Winforms utility to expand shortened URL's.
// and display them.
