downloading Pubmed pdf's via proxy

I'm very pleased with the introduction of the ability to dowload pdf's with their citations in the recent version of Bookends. I have a problem though, and that is, for me to have access to most articles I have to sign into Pubmed through my university's proxy. That means that instead of the path:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/...
I need to use:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.ezproxy.lib.unimelb.edu.au/...

Is there a way to enable this so that I can more readily download pdf's?

(I have edited the "insert on import" field in the Pubmed filter so it adds the ammended proxy to the url field, which is some sort of a workaround.)

Cheers

Chris

Good news. And thanks for a great product. The more I use and get to know it, the more I like it.

Hi,

Will proxy support in Bookends include support for Proxies requiring Authentication?

Thanks for your great work!

cheers,
Wolfgang

They will work exactly as they do now for Internet Search. If you can do a search from behind a proxy in Bookends, you'll be able to download pdfs.
