EZProxy prefixes/suffixes in the URL field in Zotero records

LiborA

I very often use EZproxy. Unfortunately, the records saved to the Zotero through the connector have a full URL including the EZProxy prefix/suffix. In this case, the output from CSL is for example:
Available from: http://epc.sagepub.com.ezproxy.techlib.cz/content/31/1/168
instead of correct:
Available from: http://epc.sagepub.com/content/31/1/168.
Can be added setting of definitions of EZProxy prefixes/suffixes to the Zotero or connector options and these prefixes/suffixes will be deleted from URL during the import process to Zotero?

@dstillman I believe @aurimas had written a pull request to fix this a few years ago, but it was never merged.

What versions? This works for me with the new Chrome connector (5.0.5) and Zotero 5.0 — I get http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1068/c11168 in Zotero for the proxied page.

(But @adomasven would know better on this, generally.)

I do not know what version. I found a record in my Zotero database this morning and next I have found a lot of others. Some of this are from this year and I used Zotero 5 in this time already but I am not sure which connector. This is one of them: 10.1007/s11367-017-1315-x (accessed 2017-04-11 15:47:41). Now I cannot reproduce it.

Yeah, I would be surprised if this were an issue anymore. Proper proxy support is one of the features in the new connectors.

The connector currently released for all platforms along with Zotero 5.0 handles this properly. Combinations of Connector or Zotero where either one or both are pre-5.0 does not work. Assuming you imported with the Chrome connector in April, the URLs would indeed have not been properly deproxified.

OK, thanks.
