[Jabref-users] Trying to fix the JStor fetcher

[Morten O. A. <mor...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to fix the JStor fetcher for the next release. They have
made some changes to the site, so the old fetcher doesn't seem to
match it at all.

I'm trying to make a new one, and I've managed to get part of the way.
I can get search hits and find the "download citation" page for a
specific hit. From this page there is a BibTeX link with some
JavaScript opening a page showing the BibTeX code in the web browser.
The url to this page is non-specific, so I assume the cookies are used
by the server to see which entry to show. I'm trying to set the
correct cookies based on what I receive from the initial connections,
but I'm stuck at a HTTP 500 error message from the server. There are
also a couple of cookies that my web browser picks up that I'm not
sure where to find.

I don't know all that much about talking to HTTP servers, so I may be
making some basic mistake. If there is anyone knowledgeable that would
be willing to help out with the HTTP stuff, it would probably increase
the chances of getting the JStor fetcher operational again.
