URL is too long !

[tanwanimohit]

Problem : the url is too long, one can not remember it easily !
Solution : we can implement URL short using third party apis or we can provide cutom url for the file.

Or we can address this with a QR code, like in #1328 .

I think a short url would be better than QR so you can send to other desktop browsers as well. Both would be ideal, of course

Hi. I would like to work on this @dannycoates . Could you please tell which third party API you prefer to use as a url shortner so that I can begin work on this?

[dannycoates]

Thank you for the offer @sharmaaditya570191. We aren't actively working on new feature at the moment, so we won't be very responsive on github for the remainder of 2019. Also, for security reasons we can't rely on a 3rd party url shortener.

Short URLs, if not formatted properly, might open up enumeration attacks if the URL is "too short" (e.g., ffsend within a for loop) so it must be taken into consideration how short should a shout URL be. QRs seem more promising IMHO.
