Summary
Electronic Supplementary MaterialSupporting information to https://doi.orgWhy
Springer supplementary PDFs can contain the article DOI. The previous verifier
therefore accepted some supplementary files as main articles when the DOI
matched.
Separately, some Wiley PDF responses obtained through the browser event API had
binary bytes replaced by UTF-8
U+FFFDsequences. They still began with%PDF-, so the downloader accepted them early, but their Flate streams werecorrupted and text extraction or rendering failed. The new check rejects that
lossy event body and allows the existing browser-state HTTP fallback to retrieve
the original bytes.
Impact
Supplementary files are no longer counted as verified main articles, and
lossy browser response bodies are not delivered as valid PDFs. Normal PDFs,
including files with a small amount of legitimate UTF-8 metadata, remain
accepted.
