Hi, While there is already conkeror-specific advice, I also know some less browser-specific solutions:

Well, what came to my mind just after reading the subject was the HTTPS Everywhere[1] Firefox extension which just works fine with conkeror. It's a plugin which rewrites URLs according to some configuable rules from http to https (and in some cases also parts of the remainder of the URL) before the access happens.

We have exactly the same problem (eJournals just via proxy) at work. We solved that via a dynamic proxy configuration: http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/proxy.pac https://wiki.phys.ethz.ch/readme/how_to_configure_webbrowsers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy.pac In our case we configure the domains for which the proxy should be used via DNS lookups in the domain fp.phys.ethz.ch (fp = force proxy), so people don't have to download a huge proxy.pac (list of domains currently 72kB) everytime. The zone file for this domain has entries like these: ; pure IP addresses -- prepend ip. ip.130.199.216.xx IN A 127.0.0.1 ip.131.220.172.yy IN A 127.0.0.1 [...] ; regular host names aac.asm.org IN A 127.0.0.1 aanda.org IN A 127.0.0.1 [...] To find out how to configure conkeror to use such a file, configure a Firefox and check about:config to find the proper values (proxy type is unfortunately a numerical value). > The proxy URL can be constructed by simple rules from the original > journal URL. So it's no real HTTP Proxy but some CGI or PHP script which has to be used? In that case I'd rather look at how the HTTPS Everywhere plugin is build. Hope this helps, too.
