I use an extension for BlogEngine.net to tweet my new posts (you can find it here).
In the tweet there’s a tiny url link. It works great, but can’t be traced. So I’ve made a few alterations to make it work with tr.im:
//<trim>
// <status result="OK" code="200" message="tr.im URL Added." />
// <url>http://tr.im/nNIk</url>
// <reference>zc4N07GTD5moOyXyczypBsZndG8MJP</reference>
// <trimpath>nNIk</trimpath>
//</trim>
private static string TrimURLFromResponse(string response)
{
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(response);
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader);
reader.ReadToFollowing("url");
string result = reader.ReadElementString();
return result;
}
string url = String.Format("http://api.tr.im/api/trim_url.xml?url={0}&username={1}&password={2}", itemUrl.ToString(),TrimUsername,TrimPassword);
string trimResponse = client.DownloadString(url);
tinyUrl = TrimURLFromResponse(trimResponse);some tests with fiddler show and it could/should work, but it cant be tested in the local Visual Studio webserver, so here’s a test: This post will either be deleted (it does not work) or updated (it does work)
Just a minute …
Yep! indeed it works.
