Ever since the arrival of the computer, technology has been seen as a paradise for cheaters, scammers and corner-cutters the world over. Within education particularly, technology is held in suspicious fingers with heavy frowns at the world of online essay mills, fake degrees, uncertified courses and leaked exam papers.

So, you send URLs to EZProxy, which say “take this other URL as a data value, and proxy it.” There are two basic params you can use to send URLs to EZProxy: 1. &url, eg 2. You may be using #1 right now because You didn’t know about qurlYou consider qurl too confusing to debug, since you’ve got to look at those quoted urlsIt’s ‘too hard’ to generate the URL with the escaped value.

Stop, don’t use #1 anymore, use #2. #1 is an illegal violates-the-standard URL. At first it might seem that while it’s technically illegal, it doesn’t really matter, after all, it works.
