I found out that inside google , shortlinks are used to navigate around to different Google services. For example:
go/mail would take you to gmail
go/docs would take you to docs
And that is entered in the address bar of the browser .
I’m just wondering if anyone knows how it works ? is it internal DNS mapping ?
I don’t know how it does work, but I know how it could work.
Create a computer called “go”. Set up DNS mapping so “ping go” does something useful.
On that computer run a web server which, when “http://go/mail” is fetched, responds with HTTP status code 302 (redirect).
