Why would you need a linkerizer? Well, some stuff is hard to directly download. This makes it easy. You can also send requests to this page via either POST or GET. Go ahead and give it a try.

Also, if you’re using Firefox, you can make using this little script even easier. Right-click in the text-entry field and select the option “Add a Keyword for this Search” — The Name can be whatever you like, and I’ve found “link” to be a good value for the Keyword. Hit “Add” and you can use it right from your address bar. Prepending any location on the web with the word “link” will route that location to this script.

For example: “link http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif” will take you to:
