Expected behavior:
------------------
Adding an entry via  BiBTeX >> New Entry >> ID-based entry generator -> 
ID-Type=DOI 
fechteches Data via doi.org from the respective publisher and creates a new 
entry

Actual behavior:
----------------
Error: "Unable to add entry via DOI: Invalid URL"

Description:
------------
This problem affects all releases from xenial up to eoan!

The rather central functionality to add entries via DOI rather than 
copy&pasteing every singe field stopped working in versions 3.8.2 and below 
because doi.org and several publishers removed support for http in favor of 
https. See jabref bug report: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2879
This issue has been resolved in version 4.0.0. and following.

Please advance the ubuntu package do version 4.x (published Oct 4, 2017
!)

Thanks a lot!
