proxy and google scholar redirect

mrmvergeer
when I want to visit google scholar (when logged on to my gmail account) zotero adds may university's proxy to the url (http://scholar.google.nl.proxy.ubn.ru.nl/). But then it wants me to logon again with my google account, which does not succeed.
How can I remove the redirect from Zotero for Google Scholar?

thanks
Maurice

    Go to the "Proxy" tab of the Zotero preferences, double-click on what is likely the only entry in the window in the middle (it'll be labaled as "Multi-Site"). In the window that opens find http://scholar.google.nl (or something similar - it may be missing the http:// for example) and delete it.

    thanks Adam,

    it worked. the only thing is that the redirects to the proxy of the university library does not work anymore without this setting.
    After I deleted it I re-entered the multi-site proxy in Zotero and it works, i.e. Google scholar is accessible but most likely all journal urls now need to be recognized again manually.

    Thanks

    you missed a step - you deleted the entire multi-site proxy. I told you to double click on that, which opens a list of proxied sites from which you could have deleted google scholar specifically.

    Ah, silly me.

    that'll teach be being in a hurry.
    Still, this option allows me to copy urls for the proxy from a different computer to this one.

    Thanks
