MetaURI is a free service that follows all redirects for a given URI and then gives you back meta information about that final URI in a variety of formats.

Short URL auto-discovery is a simple way to link a long URL with a short URL. The following code should be placed in the head section of the HTML page. link rel="shorturl" href="http://short.com/1234" or add the following to the HTTP Headers of the page Link: http://short.com/1234; rel=shorturl In most real-world situations, the short URL then redirects with an HTTP code 301 to the long URL, but that behavior is not covered by this RFC. That's it! :) try it at: http://relshorturl.appspot.com/
