So I return to the lists here somewhat sheepishly to admit that the problem was solved simply by adding the reCaptcha domain to our EZproxy stanza with the magic Javascript directives:

  DJ recaptcha.net
  HJ recaptcha.net

One of those must, I'm guessing, fetch the reCaptcha Javascript without an HTTP referrer, or possible even using the original vendor site's domain in the referrer, since that's the only way it will work.  Either way, solved our problem.

Casting a net far and wide on this, sorry.

We're using EZproxy to proxy a website that also happens to have reCaptcha on it.

I guess reCaptcha keys are tied to domain names, so when the Javascript is brought into the page via the <!cript /> tag, it sees that the page is 'proxy.example.edu' instead of 'www.vendorsite.com', and we end-up with an error from reCaptcha saying:

   This reCAPTCHA key isn't authorized for the given domain.

That all makes sense.  But can anyone fathom a workaround?
