New Post: How to convert indirect URL to direct one.

Hi,

I think the information are correct. The issue is that there are 2 redirection instead of a simple one as you would expect.

The user posted the tweet with "Forget 1960, the golden age of air travel is now http://bit.ly/1uEvVp7".
Twitter transformed this tweet into ""Forget 1960, the golden age of air travel is now http://t.co/if2l5TqG4g""
This URL redirects to the indiatimes URL (the big one).

And twitter created a new short URL (http://t.co/if2l5TqG4g) for http://bit.ly/1uEvVp7.
It means that when you click on the link the following happens.

1. Go To http://t.co/if2l5TqG4g
2. Twitter.com Redirects To http://bit.ly/1uEvVp7
3. Bit.Ly Redirects To http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international...
   

Consequently the data retrieved are correct.
Did you retrieve this tweet from the FilteredStream?

Regards,
Linvi
