Hi, Just for completeness, I have now solved the problem I was having using the CC Licence Selection step in DSpace v5.2, JSPUI using https - and I believe it was due to a minor bug in the code.
> http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/CC-license-and-HTTPS-in-JSPUI- > td4674301.html reports an issue when using https that causes "mixed > content" security warnings, but it looks like the changes suggested on that > thread have been incorporated into the DSpace code now > (https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2151?) and a quick review of the > relevant code seems to confirm this. So I don't think I'm hitting this issue? Turns out it was this issue I was suffering from and I think it is because the fix detailed in https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2151 had a small mistake in the code which I didn't spot with my initial "quick review" (that's just my take on it though, happy for others to contradict me!). The initial problem was that the "Proceed" link that appears at the end of the CC Licence step was still using http rather than https (despite the fix detailed above) - tracking down the relevant part of the code suggested that it was not correctly stripping the protocol and replacing it with "//" (part of the fix suggested in http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/CC-license-and-HTTPS-in-JSPUI-td4674301.html). Around line 41 in creative-commons.jsp it has: String reqURL = request.getRequestURL().toString(); int firstIndex = reqURL.indexOf("://") + 3; int secondIndex = reqURL.indexOf("/", firstIndex); String baseURL = reqURL.substring(0, secondIndex) + request.getContextPath(); - which doesn't appear to strip the protocol (?) - I replaced it with the following: String reqURL = request.getRequestURL().toString(); int firstIndex = reqURL.indexOf("://") + 3; int secondIndex = reqURL.indexOf("/", firstIndex); // Fixed the following to force https to prevent mixed content errors - MW: 17/8/15 String baseURL = "//" + reqURL.substring(firstIndex, secondIndex) + request.getContextPath(); //String baseURL = reqURL.substring(0, secondIndex) + request.getContextPath(); - which strips the protocol and replaces it with "//" - this seems to have resolved the problems I was experiencing - the "Proceed" link is now using https and the CC Licence selection step is now completing as expected :-). I hope this will be helpful for any others that encounter this problem using the CC Licence Selection step with JSPUI and https.
