+/**  ATTN: SECURITY RESEARCHERS
+ * To Security researchers about to submit an SSRF report CVE - please don't.
+ * We are aware that the code below is does not defend against any of the thousands of ways
+ * you can map a hostname to another IP. The code below does not have intention of blocking this
+ * and is simply to prevent the user from accidentally putting in non-valid websites, which is all this protects
+ * since _all urls must be submitted by the user anyway_ and cannot be done with authentication and manager or admin roles.
+ * If an attacker has those roles then the system is already vulnerable and this is not a primary concern.
+ * 
+ * We have gotten this report may times, marked them as duplicate or information and continue to get them. We communicate
+ * already that deployment (and security) of an instance is on the deployer and system admin deploying it. This would include
+ * isolation, firewalls, and the general security of the instance.
