First of all - jhowell - thank you *so* much for this completely life-changing plugin. It's incredible.

I'm greedy though and I want to add every catalog I can. I'm running into trouble with EBSCOhost. In my browser, I can get to it via this url: http://ezwx.ez.cwmars.org:58000/logi...aultdb=e700xna

I notice under authtype it says "ip,uid" so maybe this is some hybrid that the Overdrive plugin doesn't currently support?

In any case, by poking around the HTML source, I found this line close to the bottom of the main search page:

Code:

<!-- user: s8333660.main.ehost  -->

That was the only thing I could find that looked like the example EBSCOhost customer id/library-id listed in the help file.

I enter my library card and pin of course, as well. Here's what it looks like:

But when I try submitting, I get something like this:

Code:

Unmatched book (unchanged): Teenagers: An American History by Grace Palladino

I've also tried the following, and various permutations thereof:

Signing up for an EBSCO account and entering that username and password for the card number and pin.
The following identification options: cpid, custuid, ip, uid, and user.
Entering, after lib=, the search page that I get redirected to: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezwx.ez.c...d=0&tid=2003EB
Getting a new IP address by tethering my computer to my phone, in case the problem was EBSCOhost recognizing my IP (from my having logged in through a desktop browser) and letting me straight in, while the plugin expected to encounter a login prompt.

I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
