Can't save from Google Books

I'm trying to save an item from Google Books at http://books.google.com.proxy.library.ucsb.edu:2048/books?hl=en&lr=&id=O42iNERgx7oC&oi=fnd&pg=PP2&dq=coleman+coding+freedom&ots=BMZPuCdKpl&sig=cZ63QdtoIodHwVOgdQA_nx4ET0M#v=onepage&q&f=false -- using Firefox 18.0 and Zotero 3.0.11 under Linux Mint 14.1. I get a generic "Could not save item" pop-up when trying to do so.

This doesn't seem to be on the known translator issues page. My translators are up to date, I see a Zotero icon (although it seems odd to me that it looks like a folder), the translator is correctly identified as "Google Books," my system clock is correctly set, and I haven't been having other troubles lately.

FWIW, this works for me if I remove the proxy part of the URL, i.e. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=O42iNERgx7oC&oi=fnd&pg=PP2&dq=coleman+coding+freedom&ots=BMZPuCdKpl&sig=cZ63QdtoIodHwVOgdQA_nx4ET0M&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

By golly, you're right. (The folder icon in the address bar changes to a book then, too.) Thanks!

the problem is the proxy:
http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=O42iNERgx7oC&oi=fnd&pg=PP2&dq=coleman+coding+freedom&ots=BMZPuCdKpl&sig=cZ63QdtoIodHwVOgdQA_nx4ET0M#v=onepage&q&f=false
will work correctly.
That shouldn't be the case and I'll see if we can fix it, but until then, is there any reason you're proxying google books?
Are you using Zotero's automatic Proxy redirect?

patrick.brian.mooney

Yes -- I'd found the book through Google Scholar, which Zotero had already redirected through the proxy. I assume that the link from Google Scholar was the reason why the Google Books page was proxied, too.
