Dear Monks

I have URLs like the following one

http://www.bing.com/cr?IG=E1B087FDC4A64C13B6B6F56EE3AA3510&CID=04F7052
+A8A496C5127170CFC8BAE6DD4&rd=1&h=mRcJ09asL7Bb7lrqFpfdvPQYVwtg1d5J6vMW
+CRwXbAk&v=1&r=http%3a%2f%2fwww.raiscuola.rai.it%2farticoli%2fstato-de
+lla-ricerca-scientifica-in-italia%2f19049%2fdefault.aspx&p=DevEx,5328
+.1

[download]

This, lets face it, looks pretty bad. What I want to do is to "clean" it. By cleaning I mean getting the final URL which is contained in the long one. In our case 

"http://www.raiscuola.rai.it/articoli/stato-della-ricerca-scientifica-
+in-italia/19049/default.aspx"

[download]

I am not an expert in URL, URI and the likes but if I put the long URL in any Browser (tried Firefox, Edge), it will "clean" it automatically showing the final (shorter and readable) URL.

Any module to achive this? I was not succesful to find any. Thanks.
