RE: lengthy URL's

Someone else told me it was blocked.

Personally, I would take it up with my security admin.

tinyurl.com simply redirects your browser, it isn't a back door to anything, and has no objectionable content.

If a tinyurl url points to a URL that is caught by your firewall, that is an entirely different matter.
