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.
