This pull request introduces a new function to resolve short links (fixes #910) and integrates it into the existing Reddit comment fetching logic. The most significant changes include adding a new helper function and modifying the main export function to handle short links.
Enhancements to URL resolution:
api/src/processing/services/reddit.js
: Added theresolveShortLink
function to handle the resolution of short links using aHEAD
request and manual redirection.Improvements to main function:
api/src/processing/services/reddit.js
: Modified the default export function to check for a short link and use the newresolveShortLink
function. If a short link is provided and cannot be resolved, it returns an error. Otherwise, it constructs the URL based on the subreddit or user comment path.
