Qutebrowser config for automatic rewriting of reddit urls

(qutebrowser)

Add to ~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py:

from qutebrowser.api import interceptor, message

REDIRECT_MAP = {
    "reddit.com": 'redlib.yourdomain',
    "www.reddit.com": 'redlib.yourdomain',
}

def int_fn(info: interceptor.Request):
    if (info.resource_type != interceptor.ResourceType.main_frame or
            info.request_url.scheme() in {"data", "blob"}):
        return
    url = info.request_url
    source_host = url.host()
    target_host = REDIRECT_MAP.get(source_host)
    if target_host is not None and url.setHost(target_host) is not False:
        if source_host == "reddit.com" or source_host == "www.reddit.com":
            url.setScheme('http')
        message.info("Redirecting to " + url.toString())
        info.redirect(url)

interceptor.register(int_fn)
