URLResolver.php is a PHP class that attempts to resolve URLs to a final, canonical link. On the web today, link shorteners, tracking codes and more can result in many different links that ultimately point to the same resource. By following HTTP redirects and parsing web pages for open graph and canonical URLs, URLResolver.php attempts to solve this issue. Patterns Recognized ------------------- [](#patterns-recognized) - Follows 301, 302, and 303 redirects found in HTTP headers - Follows [Open Graph](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/) URL <meta> tags found in web page <head> - Follows [Canonical](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=139394) URL <link> tags found in web page <head> - Aborts download quickly if content type is not an HTML page I am open to additional suggestions for improvement. Usage ----- [](#usage) Resolving a URL can be as easy as: ``` use Resolver\URLResolver ; $resolver = new URLResolver(); $resolver->isDebugMode(true); $resolver->setMaxRedirects(10); $resolver->setCookieJar('/mycookie.cookie'); $resolver->setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36'); $resolver->resolveURL('http://t.co/Hb6cX2JyGM'); ``` ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 64.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
