The URL returned by TightURL returns a HTTP Redirect to the browser, which causes it to load the original very long URL.
The primary purpose of TightURL is to allow people to shorten very long URLs that would otherwise wrap when pasted into e-mail messages.
URL wrapping in e-mail messages usually results in broken links. The e-mail program will convert everything up to the end of the first line into a hyperlink, and the rest of the URL gets ignored.
Features of TightURL:
- Written in PHP, uses MySQL to store URL table.
- Highly customizable by editing configuration variables and HTML templates.

- API to use TightURL from programs. Currently a REST API is going to be implemented.
