Zotero connector proxy setup
First, thank the author of this for the great job. I was using it smoothly in the past few years.
However, I just moved to a new institution and the proxy rule is a little bit different so I have difficulty setting it up right now.
The new proxy behaves like this, for example,
journals.aps.org -> journals-aps-proxy.fnal.gov
Notice that the dots are replaced by dashes. I did not find any button in the zotero connector settings to automatically convert between these. And the 'org' is removed.
My current setup is:
login scheme: https://%h-proxy-fnal.gov/mellon/login?ReturnTo=%u
proxied URL scheme: %h-proxy.fnal.gov/%p
hostnames: journals.aps.org
If I manually enter the proxied webpage, for example, https://journals-aps-proxy.fnal.gov/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.45.3415, the login page I got is
https://journals-aps-proxy.fnal.gov/mellon/login?ReturnTo=https://journals-aps-proxy.fnal.gov/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.45.3415&IdP=https://idp.fnal.gov/idp/shibboleth
But if I directly go to journals.aps.org, it does not automatically convert to the proxied webpage. i.e. the Zotero proxy behaves like I have never set it up.
I'm sure I have turned on 'automatically detect new proxies', but when I open the proxied webpage, there is no pop-up window asking me whether to add this website to my proxies.
Can anyone help me to set it up?

%h
is a placeholder for the hostname, and "journals-aps" isn't an actual hyphenated hostname — that seems to be some unique identifier that your institution (or the proxy vendor) has assigned to that specific site. A normal EZproxy setup would bejournals-aps-org.proxy.fnal.gov
, so the scheme would be%h.proxy.fnal.gov
. I don't recall ever seeing a proxy setup like this.I'm afraid the only way you could do this would be by creating individual proxy entries (not host entries) for each site, with the unique identifier hard-coded into the URL without a
%h
variable.
