**Problem:** While a w.wiki link can often be resolved programmatically by following the redirect, it will fail in browser context because w.wiki does not set a suficient CORS policy. Running the following JavaScript from localhost will for example fail: ``` return fetch('https://w.wiki/37o', { method: 'HEAD', redirect: 'follow' }).then(response => { return response.url; }); ``` **Proposal** Add a `getshorturl` API method to the UrlShortener extension for resolving URLs. **Alternatives considered** Adding a permissive CORS policy to w.wiki(fine but more dependent of web-server configuration).
