        Why is it wishful thinking danlea? Zotero and EndNote X3 both support it for downloading both metadata and full text.

        Zotero has good ezproxy support. Ideally Mendeley would remove ezproxy from stored urls, and have a configurable addition of a proxy/rewriter for *opening* urls from mendeley

        thanks for the comment danlea. It works fine if i remove the eproxy extension - that's what I've been doing to date. I didn't think of adding a button to manually toggle the extension on and off (I currently use greasemonkey to auto-add the extension to appropriate links), but that would seem to work well as a solution.

        Button1, "ezproxy-"="Open URL in current page, "javascript:var newlink=location.href.replace(%22.ezproxy.mydomain.ac.uk:2048%22, %22%22); location.href=newlink;", , , "Mail Forwarded""

        Section in opera/toolbar/standard_toolbar_1.ini: (continued in next comment)

        [Customize Toolbar Custom.content]
        Button0, "ezproxy+"="Open URL in current page, "javascript:var newlink=location.href.slice(0, location.href.indexOf(%22/%22, 8))+%22.ezproxy.mydomain.ac.uk:2048%22+location.href.slice(location.href.indexOf(%22/%22, 8)); location.href=newlink;", , , "Mail Redirected""

      • danleadanlea commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Add:

        javascript:var newlink=location.href.slice(0, location.href.indexOf("/", 8))+".ezproxy.mydomain.ac.uk:2048"+location.href.slice(location.href.indexOf("/", 8));
        location.href=newlink;

        Remove:

        javascript:var newlink=location.href.replace(".ezproxy.mydomain.ac.uk:2048", "");
        location.href=newlink;

        Getting rules for such cases is kind of wishful thinking. Does it work if you just remove the ezproxy domain? The metadata should still be available, at least if you're viewing the article details/abstract rather than the link to the full text or pdf. I have custom buttons on my opera start bar (appears below the address bar on focus) that add or remove the ezproxy domain, see next comment.

        I get off campus access to resources such as IEEE/ACM/Springer through a proxy service which essentially adds to the hostname of the URL, i.e., portal.acm.org becomes portal.acm.org.eproxy.ucd.ie. However, the bookmarklet does not work in this case. Would it be possible to support this?
