This package can be used to create short URLs storing them in a XML database.

It can take a given URL and associates it to short key string that can be used as the base of a short URL.

The package can also take the short key string and returns the associated long URL after finding it in the short URL XML database.

Each access to find the long URL of a given short URL string will increment an associated short URL hit counter for statistics purposes.

Number 13		 Short URLs are useful to provide a short version of an URL that may be too long to fit in certain Web forms that limit the length that the URL can have.

This package provides a complete solution to create short URLs that can be run on any domain that you control. It uses XML files to store the short URL information instead of regular SQL based databases.
