Still unable to download PDF with Chrome connector
I have the identical problem as in this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/70939/unable-to-download-pdf-with-chrome-connector/p1
I've tested the same URL (this time using Berkeley's proxy):
https://www-nature-com.libproxy.berkeley.edu/articles/s41593-018-0104-6
and
https://www-sciencedirect-com.libproxy.berkeley.edu/science/article/pii/S1040618298000536
The URL dots switch to hyphens but that shouldn't matter (I have this option checked in the proxy settings).
I can't get the connector to download any PDF through the proxy (neither from the article webpage or the PDF's page). I also tried right clicking the extension and using "Save to Zotero", but no luck. I have seen three ways it fails: the download hangs (stays grayed out), I get the red X, or the message "An error occurred while saving this item". But I never get the PDF. The citation does import successfully.
The debug ID is D773877039.
I have only one proxy (no "http" prefix): %h.libproxy.berkeley.edu/%p
I'm on a Mac and there are no proxy protocols active in the system prefs.
Any suggestions are welcome! thanks

I have been able to use the Chrome Connector to download PDFs from non-proxied sites, so I'm pretty sure the issue is with the proxy.
@erikmarsh, you should send this documentation page (Option 2) to your IT department and ask them to fix it. As explained there, you can verify that this is broken using a standard industry tool, so this isn't about Zotero specifically (though some programs like Chrome work around it).
Berkeley switched to EZproxy last year (http://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/ezproxy), a big improvement on their previous proxy. It now gets a B (instead of an F) on ssllabs.com but still has the same crucial issue: an incomplete certificate chain. I submitted a ticket with them and we'll see what happens. There certainly are plenty of Berkeley folks who use Zotero!
