Info: Dynamic image with https link wont work.

[Former Member]

Hi,

This may be obvious or common knowledge but wasn't for me. When specifying a https location for a dynamic image it doesn't appear. It needs to be http.

Just in case this happens to someone else.

I still haven't figured out if I can change the database connection of reports that have CommandTables in them yet though?

I've used Fiddler to view the differences between both scenarios.

No error is reported by Fiddler.

The only difference is the content length of the failed request is less than the successful one.

In the failed case it thinks it has received a 708 byte png file that is 262 x 262.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: image/png

In the success case it receives a 10,205 byte png file that is 113w x 112h.

The report was created with the image as an OLE Object, the Object type is a bitmap image and the graphic location is set to point to the parameter.

Regards,

Patrick

You should be able to see the image binary being streamed out in the HTTP trace.

What I'm trying to determine is whether the image is being sent blank from the server, or it's being blanked in the client.

For example, default Internet Explorer setting is to not save any files sent via HTTPS on the client machine - so you may get it blanked out client side.

Sincerely,
