Upgrade StorageProxy Settings
Hi, I've got the Zotero Extension on my Firefox browser. When I go to the Proxy Settings page, I click on the + sign.
In the "Scheme" textbox, I paste in my university's EZ proxy script.
Underneath that, in the "Hostnames" textbox, I've tried putting the database URL (http://search.proquest.com)
I close the Connector Preferences tab, then go back to my desktop Zotero. I click on a link that should take me to the ProQuest database, but I am not passed through the Proxy script.
If I open the Proxy settings tab again, the proxy script is gone. I don't see any option to "Save" the Proxy script, and Zotero is not automatically catching that I'm using a Proxy when I save a citation.
Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

dstillmanYou shouldn't need to configure this manually for EZproxy installs. Zotero should prompt you to add the proxy when you open a resource via your library site and log in to the proxy.

janescalesThanks, I changed the default browser settings on my computer and it finally asked me if I wanted to use the Proxy!! Problem solved.
