I am building a channel that shows photos in a roGridScreen and I am setting HDPosterUrl and SDPosterUrl on an item in the list I hand to SetContentList() to an HTTPS URL, for example "https://images.nga.gov/images/bindo.jpg" or "https://lfe-cdn.lytro.com/lfe/7062cdec-e8f5-11e2-a5d5-22000a97519a/carousel_preview.jpg".
These URLs are of course for testing, the eventual URLs will come from an existing service.

I also called this to enable certificates on the screen:
screen.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
screen.InitClientCertificates()

This doesn't work for me - thumbnails in the view aren't showing up.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Amnon

This is a long standing known issue. The only way to get it to work now is to use roUrlTransfer to download the images to "tmp:/" and reference those from your grid screen metadata.

FYI, I filed a bug on this a week or two ago in response to another post on the forums to the same effect.

Thanks for your responses.
Was there any official word when this came up in the past?
The bug seems pretty straight forward - roGridScreen (and others?) don't honor certificates for HTTPS poster loading.
Hopefully that gets fixed soon enough...

Thanks, that worked!
