The reason I ask is that we received a security alert with a link hxxp://pastebin.com/###.
hxxp has been around for a long time. It's a lame hack that was never widely accepted by browsers. The purpose was to have a clickable link that didn't send a referer. (i.e. copy-n-paste) There was a firefox plugin for one-click handling.
