Problem attaching PDF using Artwork Type

[John Justin]

Hello,  I can't seem to attach a PDF or any URL to the artwork type.

I'm using this statement in my translator:

artItem.attachments.push({
        title: "Artstor Image Viewer",
        mimeType:"application/pdf",
        url:ivURL
    });

where artItem is the Zotero artwork type object, and ivURL is a variable with the fully qualified URL to the file.

When I click the icon in the address bar, I get the entire citation into Zotero correctly. I also get a popup with a red X in it and the title "Artstor Image Viewer". I don't get the attachments under the citation.

In Scaffold, I see the correct object being created for the attachment using Zotero.debug.

I've looked through dozens of translators using Scaffold, I don't see any that use the artwork type so I am concerned that this type may not be fully functional.

The rest of my translator works fine.

I have other documents that I want to attach as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,
John Justin

Are you actually trying to attach a PDF or an image? Zotero checks the MIME type to make sure the downloaded resource matches what's specified and will reject attachments that don't match.

How does it check that the download resource matches the MINE type? Does it look into the resource file data bit/header, or just check for the file suffix?

It checks the beginning of the file for the PDF magic number. Note that this only applies to PDFs, where login HTML pages are served in place of the actual files with some regularity.
