[COMPLETED] DOI's from Nature Precedings aren't recognised by citeulike

I can't seem to post to citeulike from nature precedings.

example, http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3496/version/1

When posted by its DOI:10101/npre.2009.3496.1 to http://www.citeulike.org/post_url.adp

gives the citeulike message: "Sorry. Can't do it. I couldn't post the page you were looking at to the site because: That DOI does not appear to be a known type."

That's not a DOI - DOIs are always 10.nnnn/xxxxxxxxxxxx

I couldn't find a DOI for it - I'm not surprised because it's a preprint or similar.

There is some quite good metadata in the HTML headers, though. I'll see what I can do.

It's an hdl, not a doi ... if you read closely you see

hdl:10101/npre.2009.3496.1

and NOT:

doi: 10.blahblahblah

I think doi's are a subset of hdls, at least it seems so if you read

http://www.handle.net/factsheet.html

EDIT: although the hdl/url given on the page, i.e.

http://hdl.handle.net/10101/npre.2009.3496.1

... does not seem to work

There is a DOI hidden in the headers: 10.1038/npre.2009.3496.1

I've added a plugin for Nature Precedings so you can post directly now.
