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
- Search the config.txt file for HTTPHeader Accept-Encoding.
- 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.
