How to fetch arxive.org with JabRef?

[yuzhu]

I got a problem with the fetching of arxiv.org while using JabRef 2.5.

"
An Error Occurred while fetching from OAI2 Source (http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=oai%3ABethe&metadatdaPrefix=arxiv): (http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=oai%3ABethe&metadatdaPrefix=arxiv%29:)

Malformed identifier 'oai: arXiv.org:Bethe'
"

Can any one help me? Thanks very much!

Something in the link JabRef is using got messed up, like some things getting dropped due to copying and pasting a string with special characters in it. I say this because within your link you don't have any argument for verb (http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/openarchivesprotocol.htm#ProtocolMessages), which should be one of: GetRecord, Identify, ListIdentifiers, ListMetadataFormats, ListRecords, and/or ListSets.

Which paper were you trying to get? For instance, if you wanted to get this Bethe paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9212204), your request URL would look something like:

http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:arXiv.org:hep-ph/9212204&metadataPrefix=arXiv (http://export.arxiv.org/oai2?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:arXiv.org:hep-ph/9212204&metadataPrefix=arXiv)

Thank you very much.

Basing on your reply, I am now able to fetch arxiv.org with paper ID. :D
