Why am I unable to proxy cloudfront domains with EZproxy
Symptom
All cloudfront.com domains are being dropped from EZproxy
Resolution
- Search the config.txt file Neverproxy *.cloudfront.com or NeverProxy cloudfront.com
- Contact the website the stanza is for and get the specific cloudfront host that is being used.
- Update the NeverProxy line with the specific host from the provider. The updated value will look similar to this d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net
Additional information
This issue is being caused by an overly broad neverproxy statement. When being used with content distrubtion website domains like Cloudfront, the specific host that should not be proxied should be referenced to limit the effect to the correct system.
