https and pdf creation - old, old problem

Hello,
more than once the following problem has been reported, but NetMake seem to be unable to solve.

When using the internal pdf-creation via wkhtmltopdf on a server which uses strictly ssl for security reasons. There will be Error 404 because the generated command always starts with http::// instead of https://.

It would be simple to change the code to decide on which kind of server the application is running. - But NetMake ignores this for months, or even years.

We need to run the application on a public server, so ssl is strictly recommended and necessary. The system has now more than 40 applications, most of them with grids that should produce pdfs.
Now this does not work at all.

NetMake needs to solve this problem immediately because in our case otherwise scriptcase is unusable for quality production systems with security, when pdf-generation is needed.

It is shocking that NetMake is so ignorant and leaves this (simple to solve problem) open. - It is absolutely no way for customers to change the generated code in all the applications.

When this problem is not solved within the next weeks, we need to stop using scriptcase and start with a better tool, that is capable to handle this simple thing.

Very disappointing NetMake - do your job. Better solve long-lasting problems rather than developing new versions, which are announced but take months of delay to come…

Now I have found and done a solution for the moment. I used tipps from other forum-contributions:
(1) in every index.php-file (more than 50!) I changed the line (see https and http-positions)
$arq_pdf_in = str_replace(“https://”, “http://”, $arq_pdf_in);
to
$arq_pdf_in = str_replace(“http://”, “https://”, $arq_pdf_in);

(2) in the /_lib/prod/third/… directory I exchanged the version of wkhtmltopdf to the latest 0.12.4 to correctly handle the https and parameter-transfer

So, for the moment the systems runs. But any change or update will cause the necessary changes again. So, it is not a solution, but a workaround.

NetMake still needs to solve it permantly.

Just curious. Is there a way to globally do this with a constant expression - even though a temporary solution - instead of altering 50+ source files?
