Not stealth - uses IE engine (obviously), saves cookies.
You can do this with all details through Wget (or cURL):

Code: Select all

wget.exe -S --spider "http://bit.ly/1RWFFFX"

Not best example because of endless redirects

Lintalist comes in handy for keeping these type of commands in one place. Just enter the wget command into the script section. Don't include the working directory line if wget path is already set. See attached screenshot.

Code: Select all

;Run wget to get website info and/or full URL from shortened URL in Clipboard
SetWorkingDir, F:\Utilities\commandlinetools\downloadUtilties\wget_and_curl
Run, cmd /k wget.exe -S --spider "%ClipBoard%"

Just select and copy the URL and double-click the entry in Lintalist, or assign a hotkey or shorthand. You could also add code to filter the output, send output to a timed message box, or use selected text instead of the clipboard to obtain the wget input URL, but this is probably the simplest method.

LooooongURL at version 1.0.0.1, changes (with help of Google Translate):

Intermediate update based on users' wishes.
If at program start there is a link in the clipboard, it is immediately inserted into the form.

Many redirects are performed, all is written in the log.

The program minimizes to tray.

Added buttons "Clear" and "Open".

LooooongURL version 1.0.0.1 screen-shot:

The expanded URLs are opened in the default browser ("Open" button).

I absolutely do not care about Internet Explorer- I do not use it and I regularly purge it with cleaners (lots of programs rely on IE and even open their websites not in the default browser but in Internet Explorer).
I am not a fan pf command line tools, I always prefer GUI.
