Description
I got the following message when I tried to annotate PDFs from arxiv in obsidian (with the Annotator plugin). I use "..." for brevity.
Unexpected server response (301) while retrieving PDF "https://via.hypothes.is/proxy/static/.../https://arxiv.org/pdf/...pdf".
The related markdown is
`annotation-target:: https://arxiv.org/pdf/...pdf`
Same syntax works well for other PDF links. Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the request using the `annotation-target` URL shown in the issue and compare the arXiv PDF response with a PDF link that works. Trace how the proxy handles the arXiv response and its 301 status. Done means arXiv PDF retrieval succeeds for the documented annotation syntax.
