[Greasemonkey] URL redirects

[Alf Eaton]

That's a nice idea - I decided to simplify it a bit to make this, which  
is what I'm using at the moment:

---------------------

var rules = new Array(
     [/^(http\:\/\/www\.nature\.com)(\/.*)$/, '$1.example.proxy.fr$2'],
     [/^(http\:\/\/www\.pnas\.org)(\/.*)$/, '$1.example.proxy.fr$2'],
     [/^(http\:\/\/www\.annualreviews\.org)(\/.*)$/,  
'$1.example.proxy.fr$2'],
     [/^(http\:\/\/www\.sciencemag\.org)(\/.*)$/,  
'$1.example.proxy.fr$2'],
     [/^(http\:\/\www\.cell\.com)(\/.*)$/, '$1.example.proxy.fr$2'],
      
[/^http\:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/entrez\/ 
query.fcgi\?.*&list_uids\=(\d*)/,  
'http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=$1'],
     [/^http\:\/\/prdownloads.sourceforge.net\/(.*)/,  
'http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$1'],
     [/^(http.*\/cgi\/reprint\/.+[^pdf])$/, '$1.pdf'],
);

var href = window.location.href;

for (i = 0; i < rules.length; i++){
     var replaced = href.replace(rules[i][0], rules[i][1]);
     if (replaced != href){
         window.location.href = replaced;
         return;
     }
}

---------------------
