I'm not sure if that URL parameter is useful in any context anymore, but it may be being used by CloudFlare bot protection to filter out and restrict requests from Zotero.

Sample page https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429019313863?via%3Dihub Failing URL to download via Zotero https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429019313863/pdfft?isDTMRedir=true&download=true URL that works via Zotero https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429019313863/pdfft?download=true

Moreover, the isDTMRedir=true URL after being blocked on Zotero no longer opens on any browser, but the URL without that parameter works fine.
