i wanna set request properties when retrieving for example an image with <fo:external-graphic>. I need it for setting cookies or authorization header (if image is located on a server where authorization is needed): ... URLConnection uc = url.openConnection(); uc.setRequestProperty("Cookie",cookie); uc.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding); ... I'm new to FOP development. Does anybody know if it is a feature commonly wanted because I found that it is not implemented yet: ======================================== FopImageFactory.java: public static FopImage Make(String href) throws MalformedURLException, FopImageException { // Get the absolute URL URL absoluteURL = null; InputStream imgIS = null; try { absoluteURL = new URL(href); imgIS = absoluteURL.openStream(); } catch (Exception e) { ========================================= Here some code has to be implemented to set the request properties and a way has to be found to set name and value of the properties via Driver object I would suggest.
