Why are some of my resource sites only displaying encoded characters when using EZproxy?

Symptom
  • When I load some of the database sites I am only seeing encoded characters
Applies to
  • EZproxy version 6.1 and above
Resolution
  1. Search the config.txt file for HTTPHeader Accept-Encoding.
  2. Replace with HTTPHeader -request -process Accept-Encoding and move between the Title and URL line for the stanza.
Additional information

Note: HTTPHeader Accept-Encoding is a global directive that will affect other stanzas.  This change localizes the HTTPHeader directive to an individual stanza preventing conflicts with other stanzas and content.
