I am certainly not trying to be difficult or simply obstinate, I simply 
do not understand the issue with obfuscation.

Perhaps your concern is related to the non obfuscated URLs being 
required to match an existing "bad" URL and cause some 
trigger/interaction with clamd or clamscan in some way that is not 
obvious to someone at my level of knowledge?

If so, I would be happy to provide the non obfuscated version off list 
or in some other way, as previously indicated.
