WebSearch behind a proxy not working on Windows 10 21H2. #10097

bhatiaa1 · 2023-07-19T15:56:12Z

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

Windows 10 21H2

Checked with the latest development build

I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

WebSearch on JabRef 5.4 works fine within the same corporate firewalled network environment and on the same Windows 10 computer.

Install JabRef 5.10 within a corporate firewall environment on Windows 10 computer, post install details as follows.
JabRef 5.10--2023-07-18--34ac6d1
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 21-internal
JavaFX 20+19
Import SSL certificate within Preferences->Network
Verify internet connectivity using the button in Preferences->Network. Confirmed that it works.
Go to Jabref WebSearch, choose ACM for searching. Search for keyword "computer".

Error message pops up in a window
"Unhandled Exception occurred"
"A network error happened while fetching from https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?AllField=computer"

Log File

Paste an excerpt of your log file here

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Siedlerchr · 2023-07-19T18:00:26Z

Did you restart JabRef after adding the SSL certs? MIght be that the certifacte config is evaluated at startup
The error indicates a general timeout. Do other fetchers work?

bhatiaa1 · 2023-07-19T18:02:10Z

Yes, I restarted as Jabref recommends after importing the certificate. In fact, the network connectivity test passed both without and with the SSL certificate on the Preferences->Network page. With the SSL certificate though, it takes several noticeable seconds to report back success.

The WebSearch fucntionality doesn't work in either case.

The behavior is same with ArXiv fetcher as well.

bhatiaa1 · 2023-07-19T18:06:59Z

We also use custom proxies sometimes for applications that cannot pick up the default Windows settings, I tried with those as well. Now, when I try to search for "computers" on ACM portal, I see the following error message

That seems like there is something else coming back, mabye html or whatever, but not json...

bhatiaa1 · 2023-07-19T18:22:02Z

ok: searching for "computer", results across portals as follows -

ArXiv portal WebSearch works with custom proxies and SSL certificate import.
ACM portal: error as above.
DBLP: no entries corresponding to the search.
DOAJ: invalid JSON.
DOAB: Internal parser error occurred while fetching from...
Crossref: Internal parser error occurred while fetching from...
Collection of Computer Science bibliographies: no entries corresponding to the search.

Do you see anything in the log (despite the exception), something about SSL verification or similar?

I am just looking at the code, trying to figure out where the certs are used. @HoussemNasri If I recall correctly, you worked on this some time ago, do you remember where this setting of the certs happens?

HoussemNasri · 2023-07-20T09:43:51Z

For context: the original feature was added at #8583, and a follow-up fix was added at #8631.

Can you try this version? https://builds.jabref.org/pull/10099/merge
I tried to fix this issue with the certificate handling by merging the jdk certs with the custom ones

Siedlerchr · 2023-07-21T17:03:34Z

@bhatiaa1 Any chance already testing the version I linked? That would be highly appreciated

bhatiaa1 · 2023-07-21T19:22:09Z

Hi @Siedlerchr, I tried the fixed version in portable mode (doing an admin level install will take significantly longer). Portable mode requires me to use "troubleshoot compatibility" mode in Windows (as before). ArXiv WebSearch continues to work fine with my corporate custom proxies and SSL certificate, ACM search on "computer" fails again with the following message -

Hi @bhatiaa1

Thanks for providing all the info.

First, we need to make sure that the issue originates from JabRef, not the proxy. So can you open this Url in your browser and see if it returns a valid JSON?

Also, how did you configure the proxy? was it on the OS level or in JabRef (by enabling the custom proxy preference) or both?

It's interesting that all errors are triggered by an invalid JSON response, for example, the ACM Portal fetcher will first look up the DOI of the entry by scarping the HTML of the ACM website then it will perform another request with the DOI to get the JSON. This means that the first request was a success.

bhatiaa1 · 2023-08-03T07:09:07Z

Hi @HoussemNasri - confirming that pasting the url from above post into the browser returns a long page with lot of content in it (I assume it is JSON). Pasting first few and last few lines from the response below.

For the custom proxy, I am manually adding the proxy inside the JabRef and similarly, I am importing the SSL certificate as well within JabRef Preferences.

koppor · 2023-10-18T09:04:50Z

To reproduce this, it gets hard. I assume:

Configure firewall to block all outgoing http requests
Install a proxy
Export SSL certificate from proxy and import into JabRef
Try

Does anyone have recommendations for such a setup? Maybe with autosetup using Vagrant, teraform or similar tools?
