Nah, it just generates a random string of characters and stores your entry in a DB, so when you click on the tiny url it redirects you to the full URL. Damn effective but ever so simple!
plus if another user uses the same 'long' URL it will use the same 'tiny' link, and they never expire (I think) -----Original Message----- From: Lovelock, Richard J [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 February 2004 09:15 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Email Links Splitting that's a bit nifty!! how does that work - something to do with DNS???

Jb. -----Original Message----- From: Lovelock, Richard J [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 February 2004 09:03 To: 'cflist' Subject: [ cf-dev ] Email Links Splitting Morning Guys/Gals (sorry if i am supposed to be using the dedicated list yet - am I?? haven't had time to sort it out yet) I need a pretty urgent response if possible.. We have an application on our website which allows Met Police officers to send out Email newsletters usinf CFMail. An officer wants to send out an email with a link to a document but the link is quite long and goes over two lines which breaks the link from the first line (i.e. the text on the 2nd line doesn't stay as part of the text) This also happened when he inserted the link just in to a normal email to me Is there anything I can do to ensure that his link stays together as a hyperlink even if it gets split over two lines? _______________________________________________________<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> * Regards, Richard Lovelock, Senior Application Analyst.
