Not displaying RDLC External Image while using HTTPS

Question

I have created an RDLC report which consist of a header logo image, I'm using "External Image" property of the report to change the logo dynamically at runtime, This works great with the "http" environment, But when I deployed my application in secured environment (https) I have noticed that Images are not loading in the RDLC report.

Images were loading properly when I was "Embedded" them in the report in both http and https environment.

And

"Yes" I'm able to access the image directly using https://******/Images/logo.bmp

"Yes" I have a valid SSL certificate.

I have tried by changing the image path at runtime using below snippet :

string logoImagePath = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(Request.Url.Query, "");

            if (logotype == "1")
            {
                logoImagePath = logoImagePath.Replace(Request.Url.AbsolutePath, "" +      @"/images/singlaslogobukom.bmp");
            }

             if (Request.IsSecureConnection)
            {
                logoImagePath = logoImagePath.Replace("http", "https");
            }
            rparas.Add(new ReportParameter("Path", logoImagePath));

But No Luck!!

Kindly help in resolving this issue, Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Well, As per my understanding PDF is not able to access the images in secured connection mode, So I'm changing my Image path to "http" like this :

             if (Request.IsSecureConnection)
            {
                logoImagePath = "http://" + Request.Url.Authority + ":" + "8080" + "" + actualPath;                
            }

Now its working fine.

Thanks,

Nikhil.

I was also getting same issue however it has been resolved by using valid ssl certificate. So don't need to use http instead of https. Thanks to my colleague Rajkishore Upadhyay.
