Hi Baran,

I've checked the server log. It says:

error FetchError: request to https://maskor.fh-aachen.de/bibbase/pubs.bib failed, reason: unable to verify the first certificate

It seems that the signing authority that issued your server's SSL certification (DFN-Verein Global, Verein zur Foerderung eines Deutschen Forschungsnetzes e. V.) is not recognized by the http library we use, which is just the built-in http library of node.js. Indeed, curl says the same:

> curl https://maskor.fh-aachen.de/bibbase/pubs.bib
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

I recommend getting a new SSL certificate from an authority that is widely accepted, e.g., a free one from Let's Encrypt.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the detailed report with links and sorry for the delay. We found the bug that causes this and fix it, and I think I've checked all the cases you mentioned, please double check.

Best,

Christian

Hi Howcanoe,

Thanks for reporting this and for the suggestion. Do you have a page where I can see this problem in action?

Hi Frédérique,

You need to use the 

https://bibbase.org/zotero-group/:userID/:groupID

URL. In your case, your zotero id seems to be Sordello, so:
https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/zotero-group/Sordello/4622315

and

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/zotero-group/Sordello/2233096

Hi Adam,

I've looked into this and unfortunately the solution we had in mind is a lot more involved then we thought. The issue is that the current bibbaseid (authors-title-year), is used for indexing in the database and is assumed to be unique. This doesn't mean that this solution won't work, but it will require a lot more time to implement and test than anticipated. As a result we don't currently know when we'll have the time to address this, sorry.

For now, I think the only option is to add something to the title like "(working paper)".

Our plan is to use the bibtex key in addition to the bibbaseid, just for disambiguation when necessary. I'll keep you posted.

That's not currently possible, no, unless you are willing to change the title of course. In computer science, e.g., it is not uncommon to have such papers with more information, but they usually indicate this in their title, e.g., by adding "Extended Version" or similar to avoid confusion.

I think we can add support for this, though, by using the bibtex key for disambiguation.

Done. 

Glad it worked!  For finding .bib files, try  bib$. The filter, again, uses regular expressions and the dollar sign is a special character in regular expressions indicating the end of the string.

Hi Michael,

We don't have a UI for this yet -- this hasn't yet come up very often --, but we can change it manually for you if you want.

What's your current username and what would you like it to be?
