Zotero connector and firefox proxy addon [solved]
Hello, I'm encountering some problems using my university proxy together with the connector. When I switch on the proxy, the connector cannot reach zotero desktop anymore.

I see that 127.0.0.1 (localhost) must be excluded from the proxy. I've tried using foxyproxy, which has a native blacklist for those addresses, but it's still not working.
For our university we actually have a custom addon to enable the proxy, but if we find a working solution, I can work with the developer to implement it. For now, we can try with foxyproxy which public.
Do you have any idea as to fix the issue?
(don't know if it's useful: but our addon use proxy by directly entering proxy name and port, avoiding a pac. I did setup foxyproxy in the same way)

dstillmanNot much we can say other than that 127.0.0.1 should never be proxied. See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/connector_zotero_unavailable for how to manually check whether it is.

ezelloharThank you, after a few tweaking I've been able to let it work, I had to change the way the addon excluded 127.0.0.1 from the proxied address.
