Ask HN: Are there any user-agent aware url shorteners out there?

2 points by diegoperini 12y ago ↗ HN

I'd like to find a url shortener like goo.gl or tinyurl.com that is able to redirect to different urls for given different user agents. One reason to have a service is to be able to provide different download links of an app for different operating systems.

Why not just redirect to your own php redirect page, check the user agent there and redirect to the correct download page?

I do not host the content, nor am I willing to do it programmatically.

Using YOURLS - http://yourls.org -- this would be trivial to do with a plugin
