Hi all,

   I am using Expurrel gem to get the original url from the short url for all the url shortener services.It works good on the script/console and irb but it is throughing me error like "URI::InvalidURIError in KeywordsController#create" in my application after giving some no. of original url and its for "bit.ly" url shortener. So is there any solution for this or any other gem or plugin is available to get original url from the short url? Can any one please help me??
