Hello,
I've identified an issue with the PDF Translate plugin (https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-pdf-translate) that works correctly on the production release of Zotero but partially fails on the latest Zotero Beta. The plugin code remains unchanged - the same .xpi file behaves differently in each environment.
After careful review, I found that while the server sets cookies via "set-cookie" headers, these cookies are properly maintained and reused in subsequent requests on the production release. However, in Beta, these cookies appear to be lost in subsequent requests, suggesting session state is not being maintained.
I'd like to bring this observation to the Forum's attention, as reusing sessions is an efficient design that reduces handshake overhead and improves responsiveness. My hypothesis is that recent modifications in the Beta may have inadvertently changed how request sessions are handled.
