Upgrade StorageProxies : keep proxy URLs up to date somehow?
URLs with resources like Ebsco, Ovid, and Engineering Village often change. Since Zotero, by default, will automatically remember proxied resources, it will save a URL that might change slightly (or drastically) in a few months. I hope that the next version of Zotero builds in some way to keep these URLs up to date.
When proxies are saved together as "Multi-Site" they use %p as a stand-in for the path to the resource that comes after the host name. That's the part that needs to be kept up to date.
For now, I'm just turning off "automatically remember proxied resources" and recommending that library patrons and staff do the same.

If they change on parts of the database vendor (although they really shouldn't - and in many cases don't), there absolutely nothing that Zotero could do - how would it even notice?
And what does that have to do with the automatic proxy service? As you say correctly, that just puts that wherever the wildcard is.
Could you give an example of where this is causing problems?
I've been using the automatic proxy for years and it's one of my favorite parts of Zotero.
