Many Web site users do not have much patience to do repetitive tasks.
If they have to fill out lengthy forms with information, they may avoid it and not fill it, especially if the form asks for values already requested.
This package provides some help to minimize that issue. It provides a solution to "remember" the values that a user filled in a form with the same types of inputs.
So next time a Web site asks the user to fill a form with the same fields, this package can provide the values the user entered last time so that the application can pre-fill the inputs with those values.

Blog: URL Tracker Class package blog
Package: URL Tracker Class
Short URLs help pass URLs of pages to other people in a way that may be easier to remember or type.
One challenge of short URLs is that they hide the actual destination URLs. If the pages of destination URLs have security issues, the users that get short URLs may not be aware of that until they access the short URL destination pages.
This package finds and returns the destination URLs of a given short URL. It may also return any intermediary URLs that browsers may need to access until they reach the final destination URL.
This way, developers may use security tools for auditing the safety of the final destination of the short URL, as well as all intermediary URLs.
