EZProxy Redirect Foxified — piptaz

Quickly reload pages through your library's EZProxy for accessing paywalled journal articles and websites.

This is a port of Tom Wambold's Chrome extension EZProxy Redirect @ https://github.com/tom5760/chrome-ezproxy

-----------

Many universities use EZProxy to allow its students access to various online
databases. This extension adds a button to Firefox which allows for a quick way
to reload the current page through your EZProxy system.

All it does is pass the URL to your library's EZProxy login URL. For example:

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/

would change to:

http://www.library.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/r.cgi?url=http://ieeexplore.ieee.org

----------

If you do not belong to a university, you can host your own proxy server and use the custom server option to add its address. You can use Nginx for this, or your own installation of EZProxy from https://www.oclc.org/en/ezproxy/
