Learn how to use the Option HideEZproxy config.txt directive to specify how referring URLs proxy requests with web servers.

Option HideEZproxy specifies that referring URLs that point at the EZproxy server’s main URL should be hidden when proxying requests to remote web servers. With this option in effect, EZproxy will suppress referring URLs such as its login page and menu page. This option does not prevent EZproxy for rewriting other referring URLs that it recognizes as pointing to the proxied version of remote web servers.

Option NoHideEZproxy is the default behavior and specifies that referring URLs that point at the EZproxy server’s main URL should not be hidden when proxying requests to remote web servers. It is a repeatable position-dependent directive that interacts with database stanzas, following database stanzas until overridden.
