Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your quick reply,
Am not trying to fool my users but what I want to do is to create
something like the short URL maker so that you can get small URL from
my website to use it with long ones at your own website, or to hide
the real URL if its long with a small one, so my whole idea is a free
service nothing more.
