Description Volker Fröhlich 2018-07-31 21:35:01 UTC

Searching sciencedirect doesn't work, most likely because of changes on their website. At first I thought that changing everything to https might be enough, but unfortunately the search form changed too. 

kbibtex(29247) OnlineSearchAbstract::handleErrors: Search using "ScienceDirect" failed (error code 301 ( "Protocol "" is unknown" ), HTTP code 0 : "" )

As far as I could see, nothing has changed in this area recently, so it's most likely broken in 0.8 too.

https://dev.elsevier.com/user/login -- Maybe using their proper API is more useful though.

Comment 3 Thomas Fischer 2018-08-01 18:19:15 UTC

I am aware of this problem. I have some working code which already uses this API but it has some rough edges I'd like to fix before I push the commits and make a new release.
The problem is due to be fixed in 0.8.2

ScienceDirect now uses official API

Search on Elsevier's ScienceDirect has been refactored to
use the official API. KBibTeX got its own API key granted
(obfuscated in code). A new XSL transformation got written
for the XML data returned by this online service.
FIXED-IN: 0.8.2
