Zotero Connector extension for Chrome cannot get PDF from http://projecteuclid.org/

For example, this link http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.aoas/1183143731 has the button "Enhanced PDF", i.e., the download link of PDF file, but Zotero chrome extension cannot automatically download and save it. This website hosts a lot of important mathematical and statistical articles. It would be great if you could fix whatever the problem is! Thanks!

    Thanks -- this is something odd. It works on Firefox, and it works on Chrome if you've manually opened the PDF, so it's something missfiring in Chrome.
    @aurimas -- can you see what's going on?

    It's not working in Firefox for me. Best I can tell is that projecteuclid.org checks the Referer header when trying to access the PDF. That's a known issue with several websites and Zotero doesn't support this currently (in Chrome or Firefox). Adding support for this is currently a bit messy, but we should be able to support it in Zotero 5.0 when everything gets rewritten anyway.
