This contains the code for both the first and second task

I have created a tinyURL like service using redis-server as the key value store

Steps

• get driver for communicating with the redis-server. I will be using gomodule/redigo. This can be installed using

go get github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis

• run the redis-server using the default port
• run the server file using

go run server.go

• add the url using curl -- replace {absolute-url} with your own absolute url

curl -X POST -d '{"url":"{absolute-url}"}' localhost:8000/add

• retrieving url -- replace {tiny-url} with the tiny url you received

curl -i localhost:8000/{tiny-url}

• if you use browser to connect instead of curl in the last step, you will be automatically redirected

--@TODO use go modules--

the onlu external dependency is the redis-driver. rest has been implemented using the standard library
