UPDATE: frolic (who created the original redirect.name) has added HTTPS support, so my hosted version is no longer necessary. redirect.jons.tools is now a CNAME to alias.redirect.name, so if you were using a CNAME things should keep working. If you were using an A record, I will be shutting down my hosted version eventually, so you should migrate back to frolic's.

Redirect.name is cool as heck. It strikes me as one of those “do one thing well” tools that just works. It has one mildly bothersome limitation though. It doesn’t support HTTPS (SEE UPDATE). I was using this tool on a project, and I was getting complaints from people who’s browsers were defaulting to HTTPS (idk what the rules are for when this happens). I decided that I could either set up some sort of one-off domain forwarding thing for this project, or I could just host a fork of redirect.name with HTTPS support. It doesn’t have a documentation page (other than this blog post), but it works exactly like holic’s original version. Just use redirect.jons.tools in place of alias.redirect.name (or if you must use an A record, 206.217.136.59). Source code is here.
