 ** Description: Simple route file for mirroring telegram desktop update system
 ** 
 ** You can test it in local by using the PHP integrated Webserver:
 **   $ php -S localhost:8080 index.php
 ** Also if you want to use it on Apache2 make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled.
 ** This would be the content for the .htaccess 
       DirectorySlash Off
       Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
       DirectoryIndex index.php

       RewriteEngine on

       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -d
       RewriteRule  ^.*$  -  [L]

       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -f
       RewriteRule  ^.*$  -  [L]

       RewriteRule ^.*$    index.php [L]
 ** Note: I assume you have a basic knowledge of apache and know how to enable the use of
 ** .htaccess, enable mod_rewrite and so on. Don't ask me how to do things.
