That's good news. Have Innovative also allowed you to add the port 80 version of the WebBridge base URL to Google Scholar linking?

Subject: WebBridge on port 80
Hi,
A few months ago, back in February I think, I reported that upgrading to release 2011 seemed to have caused WebBridge to stop working on port 80. The manual gives a base URL of (for example) http://library.dur.ac.uk:4550/resserv for WebBridge as a link resolver, but we had been using http://library.dur.ac.uk/resserv by preference, because we find that some users have trouble accessing services on non-standard ports.
This problem did not occur when other sites upgraded to release 2011. I reported the issue to Innovative, whose initial response was that WebBridge is only supported on port 4550 and the fact that it had been working on port 80 previously made no difference. I wasn't happy with this. In the end we got round the issue by proxying WebBridge via EZProxy, which runs standard ports.
Last week I was pleased and surprised to get a reply from Innovative to say that they have determined that accessing WebBridge on port 80 should be supported behaviour, and that they have applied a fix. It's all now working happily again.
I thought I had better report back to the group so that if the same problem arises you know that it can be solved!
Regards,
