Authenticating Redirection Service

摘要

A redirection service may receive a destination URI plus a set of conditions for reaching the URI. The conditions may include authentication conditions. The service may generate an intermediate URI which may direct to an intermediate service. The intermediate service may execute the various conditions, then redirect to the destination URI. In some cases, the intermediate service may pass data to the destination URI, and such data may include data gathered while executing the various conditions. The intermediate service may accessed through an Application Programming Interface (API). An example use scenario for the redirection service may be to generate publically publishable URIs for a private chat service, where an intermediate URI may be generated for a specific user or group of users, and may permit only those users to access a private chat room through the publically available URI.
