Upgrade StorageSynchronizing Zotero desktop behind authenticated proxy
Hello everyone.
I work in a setting where my laptop is only connected to the internet behind a proxy with authentication.
With most applications I can setup the http proxy settings in the following way:
username:password@proxy.domain.com
and set the port elsewhere.
I tried to do the same with the desktop version of Zotero to be able to synchronize with my Zotero storage account, by assigning the following variables in the advanced settings.
network.proxy.http = username:password@proxy.domain.com
network.proxy.http_port = port of the proxy
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
But it doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing?

If you want to specify proxy settings manually in Zotero, you'd need to set all of the same prefs as in Firefox, including network.proxy.type. I don't know if the authentication format works — I've never seen that used in Firefox, so you might have to just specify the server and use the authentication prompt. (signon.autologin.proxy may or may not work to bypass that.)
