Always HTTP Status Code 200

[spikehidden]

When using Sleeky Backend all redirects send a 200 Status Code which causes site Scrapers to fail creating embeds (Discord, Twitter, ect.).

I also tried to check if it maybe an incompatibility with another Plugin so I deleted all of them and only left Sleeky being there. STill the same issue.

Sleeky: v.2.5.0
YOURLS: v.1.8.2

The problem is that Sleeky is using the fallback JavaScript method for ALL redirects instead of generating the needed 301-redirect headers. Thus each link registers as a 200 status. Seems to be a conflict with the base YOURLS itself, as I too encounter the issue even with no plugins installed.

I've discovered that fixing a user validation issue that was causing login errors also fixed this problem with Sleeky forcing YOURLS to use the fallback JavaScript redirect method that causes all shortlinks to generate a 200 server response instead of the needed 301-redirect.

Once corrected using @likeaross's solution #127 (comment), YOURLS is again generating the proper 301-redirects even with Sleeky enabled.
