Zotero proxy redirects https://archive.org/ and I don't know how to disable it

kwokyingchen
Whenever I try to access archive.org, Zotero automatically redirects it through my school proxy, resulting in an error page.

I looked at the Configured Proxies section under preferences to try to disable this redirection, but I can't find archive.org under the list of hostnames.

Does anyone know how I can disable this? Thank you.

    Can you provide a Debug ID from the Zotero Connector for reproducing this?

    I just submitted one: D1932505283

    That's from Zotero, not the Zotero Connector.

    Oops, sorry. Here it is:

    Your debug output shows you loading the URL of your university proxy, without Zotero performing a redirection.

    Did you reproduce it with all extensions other than Zotero disabled?

    I just disabled all other extensions except Zotero connector. Now, there is no redirection when I go to archive.org, but when I try to access another website where the connector should activate the proxy, like springer.com, I get the following error message:

    Example Domain

    This domain is for use in documentation examples without needing permission. Avoid use in operations.

    That just means you have example.com entered somewhere in your Zotero proxy settings (I think "Proxy login URL").

    I see. I figured out that it is not the zotero connector but another university library extension that is doing the redirecting. Thank you.
