I've the same problem and submitted D1223814870.

PDFs are neither downloaded if an entry is added using the Zotero Connector nor "Find fulltext" via rightclick on an item.

```

The resolved URL can be downloaded manually in Firefox without any problems.

It worked quite a long time and stopped working with one of the 6.0.2x versions. I hopped 7.0 had fixed this.

BTW: I'm behind a corporate firewall with SSL scanning and central proxy with authentication (network.proxy.type=5). Everything works well, regardless of signon.autologin.proxy is true or false.

(Please start new threads for new issues. I've moved this to a new thread.)

I'm assuming Z: is a network share? You should try with the data directory on the local disk.

mathias.walter

Yes, Z: is a network share which worked over years. The tmp directory is also created but no file appear inside, if I watch the folder.

Using the default local profile and data directory does not change anything. See D393255390.

Could you go to Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript, run the following code, and either paste the result or send it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread? (We'll respond here either way.)

var req = await fetch('https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009731&type=printable');
var headers = [...req.headers.entries()];
headers.push(["status", req.status]);
return headers;

The resulting headers look good to me:

OK, it's likely security software on your system, then.
