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?

And just in case it doesn't like gifs I also tried:

And it didn't work.

Ok - I've misunderstood your workflow. I think I do now, but unfortunately, I don't think it can be done.

You're using the "Graphic Location" formula to specify a URL for the image. When you return a string with http://, it's working, but not with https://.

That's currently the behavior in Crystal Reports 2008 Designer, and CR4E CRJ SDK reflects that behavior.

As you've indicated, it doesn't pass through the HTTPS request to the client, but the engine tries to access the image file directly and re-stream it out to the client, but cannot if the resource is HTTPS.

Since there's currently no support for the CR 2008 Designer product itself, it's likely not something that would be implemented in CR4E in the near future.

Sincerely,

Ted Ueda
