The most common resolution function of a DOI name returns a single web address (or URL for Uniform Resource Locator) to which the user is redirected as illustrated below. This is done by using the HTTPS Proxy Server of the DOI System (https://doi.org). With the DOI Proxy, users can resolve DOI names from any standard web browser by using the URL syntax (A proxy server is a web server that understands the Handle System protocol, thereby acting as a gateway between the Handle System and HTTPS.). For example, the resolution of the DOI name "10.10.123/456" would be done from the address "https://doi.org/10.123/456". That makes the DOI resolution service extremely easy to use.
