zotero ACM Digital Library translator fails when HTTPS Everywhere is enabled
[Reporting here since the zotero devs claim it's not an issue at their end]
Saving from the ACM Digital Library using the Firefox Add-On zotero reliably fails when HTTPS Everywhere is enabled. There are no error messages reported to the console. The only relevant error log I could find was:
Timestamp: 24/07/12 09:50:18 Error: [Exception... "'Image HTTP->HTTPS redirection to https://dl.acm.org/images/ACM_mini.jpg' when calling method: [nsIContentPolicy::shouldLoad]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "" data: no]
Reproducible: always
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable the HTTPS Everywhere add-on
- Try saving any item from ACM Digital Library using zotero (e.g. https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=567085, but I tried various, it is not an item-specific issue)
Disabling HTTPS Everywhere (which is obviously not an option for me) reliably solves the issue.
