Fair enough.
Just some of the pitfalls you run into when trying to bridge a browser world with the old world.
Sometimes you have a one off.

People have to migrate. Production doesn’t stop while you build something else.
But yes, you need to follow the wind.
ah see but with great power comes great responsibility.

Definitely an age old problem.
Gotta sanitize your inputs. Gets people every day.
Hell I read a @josecgomez post that exposed Epicor had an SQL injection vulnerability.
Yeah no fair point bad analogy.

Oh, it’s not following the wind. I don’t want my workaround lead to a security incident that shuts down production, which was how I justified my workaround to begin with. 
And to exemplify this…

Well you first have to look at the specific situation.
This is a one off for a specific purpose, and would be unlikely to be abused.
On the grand scheme, they whole process should be revised (url schemes)

Which is is getting harder all the time! Recently, most web application firewalls were letting json through because they didn’t know you could send json to databases these days.
Exactly, sure security is king, but it shouldnt override everything. You’d be exponentially safer if you didnt drive a car, bet you’re still gonna.
I do think that warnings from the sec saavy like @Mark_Wonsil are super useful to keep the caveats in the forefront. ESPECIALLY since there is a large spectrum of skill levels here on the forum. How many times have we heard “i copied your code but”?
I certainly appreciate all the tip\tricks, even in times when they may be frowned upon since we all know we have to keep a large tool bag - so long as we can make it clear on the post to be wary, and Mark has us covered!
