This seems to be an issue with your browser, since it is the browser who determines the mime-type based on the file extension. Which OS and browser do you use?

Hi Adam,

Have a look at https://bibbase.org/help#howdoiaddlinkstomypaperspdfsetc, it describes how you can change 'paper' to anything else you want it to be by adding a suffix to the url field, e.g.:

    url_Slides =   {talks/gau-hum-1830.ppt}

Hi Adam,

The components of the bibbase id are:

• lastname of the first 8 authors
• "etal" if more than 8 authors
• title
• year

Each such component is normalized by stripping any characters that aren't letters or digits and then converted to lower case.

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)".
