It could be reasonable to collect some past examples of such proxies. This would help in assessing whether something like this is technically feasible. Also I assume that if something like this is implemented at some point, we'll need to prepare list of regular expressions for such automatic rewrites - so it is good which proxies we are concerned with. (The post is CW, feel free to add more examples.) * `proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au`; only [1 occurrence](https://data.stackexchange.com/mathoverflow/query/954228/posts-with-given-word-in-some-of-the-revisions?word=proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au) * `proxy2.lib.umanitoba.ca`;
