NCBI PubMed import problems

gkoczyk
Seems not working as of today (22/04/2013). Fedora 16, Firefox 18.0.2. Neither "magic wand", nor import from PubMed, nor import from PubMed Central - box with "Saving" pops up and that's it.

ReportID: 428204944

PS. Updated Zotero (to 4.0.6) and went through all "reset X" motions.

    Example URL/PMID? It works for me.

    A Debug ID for a magic wand lookup might be helpful.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23572446

    Magic Wand gives:
    Zotero could not find a record for the specified identifier. Please verify the identifier and try again.

    Are you behind some sort of proxy that might be interfering with these requests? (It looks like that request took 22 seconds before failing.)

    What happens if you load http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=PubMed&tool=Zotero&retmode=xml&rettype=citation&id=23572446 in your browser?

    Apparently the admins must be mucking with DNS. Eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov did not resolve at all (over ca. 20 secs), upon manually editing /etc/hosts the problem was completely resolved.

    Thanks, sorry for the trouble.
