Encoding URLs

[BeepBot99]

Hi, so I noticed that the URLs that are like anura.pro/service/... aren't fully the original URLs and I was wondering why that is. Like, it looks like every other letter is correct, but the other letters are encoded in some way. For example, this:

https://anura.pro/service/hvtrs8%2F-ezaopne%2Ccmm-

Decoding that URL gives you this:

https://anura.pro/service/hvtrs8/-ezaopne,cmm-

Taking just the last part, you get this:

hvtrs8/-ezaopne,cmm-

The original URL was https://example.com/. Every other letter is correct, but the others are encoded in some way. So, here are my questions:

• How are they encoded, and why is it only every other letter?
• Why do they need to be encoded?

Interesting, I've never noticed that. I don't know personally but I'm sure @ProgrammerIn-wonderland does.

1. every other letter is xorrd by 2
2. filters

Check out https://github.com/titaniumnetwork-dev/Ultraviolet/blob/main/src/rewrite/codecs.js if you wish to decrypt the URLs

So is MercuryWorkshop assosciated with the Titanium Network or not?

It's a bit more complicated than surface level but the short answer is, yes, we are associated
