Zotero Standalone Chrome connector doesn't work via proxy
I'm using Zotero Standalone with Chromium 10 and the connector. It works pretty well, but if I connect to e.g. ScienceDirect through a proxy server it no longer recognises the page as saveable. Zotero on firefox has no problem with this.

If I switch proxies to get the PDF having first loaded the page, it seems the proxy info gets passed to zotero SA since I get a popup requesting the proxy login details from both zotero and chromium. But nothing got saved (although I thought it worked at least once).

Interestingly, with the proxy on, the zotero icon doesn't load. But when I switch the proxy off again, the connector *does* recognise the page AND I can access the fulltext (I guess something is cached somewhere)...
It looks like this isn't really translator-specific-- there are just issues with proxies and the connectors+standalone so far. That's a known issue, and a priority for final release of standalone.

http://pubs.acs.org.libproxy.rpi.edu/doi/abs/10.1021/la1033178
first works fine, second fails. Both work in 2.1b4 on firefox4.

Here are a couple more that doesn't work through my university proxy but does work when I connect directly (i.e. http://www.emeraldinsight.com.library.school.ca/... vs. http://www.emeraldinsight.com/...)

Apologies for the many error reports - I'm not certain if some of the errors are reported multiple times. The actual error is the same in all, except for a few additions in some. I included them all in case grabbing a citation already in the library is part of the problem - likely a red herring, but the third error report below was just after successfully doing that.. I'm a bit confused about when the 'Report Errors ...' cache is cleared and whether zotero is able to resubmit the same errors multiple times...
With chromium 10.10 on ubuntu 10.10 and zotero standalone 2.1a3
First I grabbed a citation from the above url (ie: no proxy). It worked. I didn't check if zotero had any errors to report.
Then I went to the same page through my uni proxy and tried again. Note that the citation already exists in my library at this point. This second attempt failed (no new, duplicate item, reported a problem) and this error was waiting to be reported:
123647509
This was a second similar (failed) attempt (also via proxy):
1529857608
Next I tried again without the proxy. It succeeded (duplicate appeared in my library), but these errors were hanging around in zotero waiting to be reported:
1572292328
Then I deleted the citation(s) from my library and tried again (without the proxy), zotero grabbed it without an error ("Report Errors ..." greyed out).
I deleted it again, then tried (with the proxy), I got this error and no new library item:
371579998
Finally, I tried again without the proxy (i do want it in the library, after all :). Success, but again zotero had this to report:
1076873178
Hope that's helpful
I am unable to retrieve citations from PNAS via zotero connector for Chrome (Chromium 11) through my universities proxy.
