## Description

Many universities use EZProxy to allow its students access to various online databases.  This extension adds a button to Chrome which allows for a quick way to reload the current page through your EZProxy system.

All it does is pass the URL to your library's EZProxy login URL.  For example:
    <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/aa01e6d29da9b996c697133a39e5beaded9ee61b62f6297cdb4acb644620dff8/http%3A//ieeexplore.ieee.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/</a>
would change to:
    <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/8766a69628b77775d669c3235877aab27455078b49f56e668144ed1ffcc33c3e/http%3A//www.library.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/r.cgi%3Furl=http%3A//ieeexplore.ieee.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.library.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/r.cgi?url=http://ieeexplore.ieee.org</a>
