  Great! It's working: http://git.io/hvlF http://git.io/hvlF How long can this hack survive? :)

  For those that are wondering, it's a secondary URL redirecting service hosted on GitHub Pages. http://google.com -> http://git.io/hvTe -> http://sauravtom.github.io/4gitiohackRepo?u=http://google.com -> http://google.com

  Nicely done! Wonder if GitHub will keep it up :)

  Probably should have just sent a notice to security@github.com rather than exploiting it in production.
