sharer.php page refresh can lead to DOS

    the sharer.php is under certain conditions refreshing the page. see the following code:

    echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='.$url.'">';

    This can lead to a DOS of the corresponding server. I suggest to change this to only try to reload every 1-5 seconds. So changing this to:

    echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url='.$url.'">';

    most likely would make sense.

    Hello,

    Thanks. I will think about adding this change in the next plugin release.
