You need JSSE to support HTTPS. That support already exists in java 1.4.

> I have not been able to successfully embed a jpeg obtained from an URL
> into the PDF created by iText. We have had 2 programmers looking at this
> problem for a couple of weeks and can trace the problem back to iText or
> something that iText is passing to java.net.URL.

> Here's basically what we are doing and what we see:
> 1. Create a string that contains the URL to produce out chart (code at
> the URL uses Jfreechart)
> 2. Use the string to create an URL which is passed to Image.getInstance()
> 3. Image.getInstance() throws an exception
>
> Here's some example code:
> String imageUrl = new StringBuffer(128).append(myinfoUrl)
> .append("/paysummary/DisplayBarChart.jsp")
> .append("?userid=").append(userid_)
> .toString();
> Image barChart = Image.getInstance( new URL(imageUrl);
>
>
> Note that URL string stored in "imageUrl" both looks correct and works
> when typed in a browser window -- the URLs look like:
> https://server03.ne.boe.com:8094/paysummary/DisplayBarChart.jsp?userid=122
> 34
>
> The URL returns a jpeg image of a chart (produced by Jfreechart). I can
> run the code using Jbuilder from my desktop machine (which uses http, not
> https) -- it works fine and the chart is put into the PDF.
> But, if I put my java code on our server (which uses https), the
> getInstance method throws an exception. I have seen 2 different errors: 1)
> stating that the URL does not look like a jpeg and 2) a Malformed URL
> exception is thrown in java.net.URL.

> we are frustrated to the point of giving up on iText completely unless we
> can get this problem resolved.

> Has anyone seen similar problems with putting images obtained from an Url
> into an iText-produced PDF file? Do you have any recommendations of things
> to try -- we have exhausted our known options. By the way, putting the
> image in the file system and opening it from there works, but that is not
