Translator failure for WorldCat FirstSearch (again)

Saves to Zotero standalone as "FirstSearch: WorldCat Detailed Record" with no metadata, actually.

Is this a problem at org.ezp1.lib.umn.edu?

the proxy looks fine, but other things in the URL seem odd (e.g. the whole bad=error/badfetch.html part -- the URL is session specific, though, could you give use search terms for how you're getting there?
Also, do other pages import correctly? Have you tried reloading that one?

Same problem as before, two years later (haven't tried recently):
https://firstsearch-oclc-org.ezp1.lib.umn.edu/WebZ/FSFETCH?fetchtype=fullrecord:sessionid=fsap02pxm1-1680-kzezmum1-o7q6k7:entitypagenum=4:0:recno=1:resultset=1:format=FI:next=html/record.html:bad=error/badfetch.h
FirstSearch: WorldCat Detailed Record
Snapshot
An error occurred saving with OCLC WorldCat FirstSearch. Attempting to save using Save as Webpage instead.
An error occurred while saving this item. Try again, and if the issue persists see Getting Help for more information.tml:entitytoprecno=1:entitycurrecno=1:numrecs=1

Hovering the mouse over the Zotero document-file icon before clicking on it reveals this reassuring message: "Save to Zotero (OCLC WorldCat FirstSearch) has access to this site." But then the usual error message follows.
