This script automates the process of submitting pages to Blue Coat's filtering system, complete with preference remembering. It also reloads the page on a filter-related network error (such as a filter request timeout.)

I have only tested it on my school's network, but it should work on any filtering system similar to ZyXEL ZyWall's (which excludes K9), if you set it for your system (see the screenshot).

The code is a little buggy, and many parts of the interface look ugly. I hope to improve on this in the future (along with annotating the code and this site with real documentation).
