Hi Duncan
There used to be a list on the old ezproxy site and I would imagine it has been transferred to oclc but I'm not sure where it is. I will have a check when I am in the office.
Thinking behind it? Probably slight paranoia due to the sheer amount of non-authorised downloads from proxy routes.

Subject: Re: EZProxy certificates
Is there a list of these anywhere? Our library's never mentioned
that some have this requirement. I guess I'll be rethinking turning
off https then :( Any idea what the thinking behind this is?
Thanks,
Duncan
