URL domain extraction about assemble HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm a beginner looking to gain a bit more experience and I'd be willing to attempt this. How quickly do you expect a PR?

Hey @strongdan that sounds good. No time limit. The only request is if end up not finding time to finish you post back here to free it up for someone else. Feel free to post a partial solution so others can collaborate or drop by the #assemble channel with any questions.

Sounds great! I'll try to get something completed this weekend and update you with what I have.

I didn't see that @harish-garg already solved this one. Great job!

Still room for improvement or alternative approaches.

I had to post on StackOverflow about sorting out short URLs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43219063/detecting-a-short-url-using-python

It sounds tough to implement. I can try to come up with a list of known short urls or match on a regular expression. I will most likely need some help with the cleaning and validation of results.
