Automatic Institutional Proxy Detection

babelmansour
Hello,

I have updated the Zotero Connector in both Firefox and Chrome. It does not recognize institutional proxy neither in Firefox nor in Chrome even though the proxy options are checkboxed both in Zotero and Chrome. I was previously using the Zotero Firefox extension and it was working very well. Browsers and extensions are up to date so I don't understand why it does no longer work: when I go on one of my academic institution libraries (I have access to academic databases through both the CNRS and my university libraries) website and click on JSTOR or SAGE (say) Zotero does not ask me if I want to add the proxy and nothing happens.
Thanks for your help

Sébastien

    If you run Zotero 5.0.8 it will import all your proxy preferences from Zotero for Firefox automatically into the Connector. Otherwise, the Connector only detects a proxy when it notices a redirection to the institutional login page and shows a notification at the top of the page asking whether you want Zotero to associate the proxy.

    Sorry, the functionality is actually broken at the moment. We're working to restore it ASAP.

    Can you post a URL where you expect the proxy detection to work but it’s not?

    Hello

    thanks for you answers. Here is an URL including the proxy (inshs.bib.cnrs.fr) that used to work with Zotero in Firefox but does no longer do:
    http://journals.sagepub.com.inshs.bib.cnrs.fr/toc/cusa/current
    Should I understand that the functionality will be restored? It is very useful.
    Thanks again,

    This should be fixed in version 5.0.14 of the connector, available now (or in a few minutes for Chrome).
