CKFinder 3 Returning Wrong URLs for Selected Files

Question

I've encountered a strange problem while integrating the ASP.NET version of CKFinder 3 on my site. I'm creating a modal instance to select a file to populate the value of a field but, instead of the expected URL of "/uploads/images/path/to/image.ext" using getUrl() when the files:choose event is fired, I am instead getting the following URL returned to me and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why or how to fix it.

http://domain.tld/path/to/ckf/connector?command=Proxy&lang=en&type=Images&currentFolder=%2Fpath%2Fto%2F&hash=[hash]&fileName=image.ext`

If it's relevant, the backend info for my "uploads" directory in "Web.config" looks like this:

<backend name="default" adapter="local" useProxyCommand="true">
    <option name="root" value="../../../uploads" />
    <option name="baseUrl" value="/uploads/" />
</backend>

And then the JavaScript I'm using to create the modal instance and listen for the files:choose event goes like this (the field I'm trying to populate is the previous sibling of the button used to create the modal):

document.getElementById("openckf").addEventListener("click",function(){
    var field=this.previousSibling;
    CKFinder.modal({
        onInit:function(finder){
            finder.on("files:choose",function(event){
                field.value=event.data.files.first().getUrl();
            });
        }
    });
},0);

UPDATE: The same thing is also happening when I add CKFinder to CKEditor.

To use direct URL-s you need to disable the proxy command feature: simply set useProxyCommand="false" in backend configuration, or completely remove this attribute. This option defines whether links to files should be direct, or files should be served by connector.
