It might work for DOIs (I haven't tried that) but when the second part of the url is another url, it doesn't work the way I wish it did.

In particular, this next url redirects to the paywall, whereas I wish it redirected to sci-hub:

https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/http://ieeexplore.iee...

(The reason for wanting to use a URL instead of a DOI is that some paywalls have stopped publishing the DOI, so if all I start with is a link to a page at a paywall, there's no reliable way I know of to discover the DOI.)



Oops, sorry - I had actually fixed that, but apparently didn't deploy it properly (it's at whereisscihub.now.sh as well now, which makes it somewhat hard to keep track of). It should work properly now.


I agree that it works properly now. Thanks for making this.
