Re: Shield specific *path* from rewriting in a rewritten domain?

Hi Michael.

I believe you can use SPUEdit for this. eg

SPUEdit @^https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/partners$@https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/partners@ir

You should have the SPUEdit line before any stanzas for the same host.

Best,

Laszlo.

Subject: [EZPROXY-L] Shield specific *path* from rewriting in a rewritten domain?

Hi all,

I am experimenting with the PubMed stanza as it originates on https://help.oclc.org/Library_Management/EZproxy/Database_stanzas/PubMed<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/iLvECZY146sDOK1WIzrF7C?domain=help.oclc.org> - in particular I wanted to find a way to get PubMed's "Sign in to NCBI" links to work through UMN's federated login so that users who follow those individual sign in links while already proxied drop out of EZproxy and hit the links directly.

I thought I might find a way to prevent a specific URL path from ever being rewritten on an otherwise rewritten (proxied) domain but not finding any such feature. Using Find/Replace with ^A does not seem to work in this instance because the links are originally spelled out in the HTML like:

authid="university_of_minnesota" href="?authid=university_of_minnesota"

I can't use Replace with ^A here becuase it only works to follow http:// or https://. AnonymousURL is not appropriate because we would not want it rewritten at all, rather than rewritten but unauthenticated. I attempted to stack two Find/Reaplce pairs first transforming the above into a full URL, then rewriting it with ^A, but found that does not work either.

Is there a directive that would allow us to just prevent URLs with the relevant path from being rewritten:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/partners<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/nH8OC1WLjwskvJrQfGQayT?domain=ncbi.nlm.nih.gov> ?

This is all only an experiment after we received a support question from a user who attempted to do use the Sign in to NCBI links while already in the proxy. I am first determining if it is possible to un-proxy this section of the site before finding out what the actual repercussions of doing that would be.

Thank you for any input,
--
