Urlbeat—simple URL shortener web app
======================================

**Urlbeat** provides a single resource called Redirection.

 * Redirection is created by submitting a POST request to
   `/` with `url` parameter.

 * Redirection is accessed by submitting a GET request to
   `/<key>` where key is the short URL identifier.

All responses are non-negotiable HTML.
