Hi all, I need a small, very efficient web application to do the following: 1) Receive an url input which may be formatted different ways. All characters must be translated as necessary for the outbound link to work...this means that [login to view URL] needs to become http%3a%2f%2fblah%2ecom a)[login to view URL]://[login to view URL] b)[login to view URL]:%3a%2f%2fwww%2estuff%2ecom c)a combination of the above. 2)write an entry to a MySQL DB with the originator's host name, ip, country, source (google, yahoo, etc.), and target url 3)Redirect the user to the site in the ?url= parameter The code needs to be able to handle 20 requests per second without MySQL (too many connections) or speed issues. The redirect should not depend on successful write to the MySQL DB and should be done as a parallel task.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
