JSTOR eprint data export depends on whether jstor link starts with https vs http

[rpguiteras]

Using Better BibLaTex with JSTOR items, I notice that if the url stored in Zotero begins with http, then the exported .bib file will convert this to eprint data and drop the url, which I assume is the desired behavior.

However, if the url begins with https, then no eprint data are generated and the url is retained.

Report ID: 4RNZQPVX-euc

Exporter used: Better BibLaTeX

Expected behavior:

JSTOR data exported as eprint, e.g.,

  eprint = {2938351},
  eprinttype = {jstor}

and URL is dropped, which is what occurs when the JSTOR url starts with http rather than https. For example (when Zotero url is http://www.jstor.org/stable/2938351):

  eprint = {2938351},
  eprinttype = {jstor},
  number = {4}
}

Actual behavior:

Does not export an eprint. Exports a URL, for example (when Zotero URL is https://www.jstor.org/stable/2938351):

:robot: this is your friendly neighborhood build bot announcing test build 5.2.29.6666 ("fixes #1543")

Install in Zotero by downloading test build 5.2.29.6666, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

[retorquere]

Can you try 6666?

[rpguiteras]

This seems to be working great:

Zotero URL field https://www.jstor.org/stable/2938351

gives

BibLaTeX export eprint = {2938351}, eprinttype = {jstor},
