Hi,

I just sent a student an email with some links to computations on the
single cell server on aleph.sagemath.org. I used the "shortened
temporary links" to get something shorter. But how long will those links
work?

Those are just IDs in the database, so they will work as long as that database is up and running. I don't see it going down in the near future, but it is tied to that specific database of inputs.




(I'm imagining coming back to that email years later, and wondering what
I sent the student -- and discovering that the links are bad, and I
can't recreate the code. If I use the full link, I can base64-decode
stuff, but what about the shortened link?)


That's why I use the base64 link as much as possible, and use it in all pdf materials I post, etc. The one problem is that there is generally a limit on URL length of about 1K, so if the base64 link is longer than that, there is a problem.

Thanks,

Jason
