Problem returning chrome images when accessed via https

[it@…]

When accessing the trac project I've setup for a client via https, images accessed from chrome are not found and a 404 is returned.

In the attached access log you can see that when accessing the ticket browser, the main page, css and js pages are all found but all dependent images are not found. All functionality is correct apart from this.

Version is 0.12 multirepos using the mercurial plugin with no changes to site templates. I haven't tried a released version yet, but I don't think its to do with the version as the *same* project when accessed from http works perfectly - all images are found.

Is there a workaround I could use temporarily - something I've missed in the config perhaps?

I normally wouldn't be bothered by this, but it's a client site, has to look good, and has to be accessed over https and hosted in the secure area of my site so I can't simply serve it over normal http.

Note - to get past askimet, the referrer urls have been removed but I've verified they're all correct.

Have you set base_url to use HTTPS?

I appreciate the quick response - thanks.

Just tried this your suggestion. No difference, but to be honest, I'm not particularly surprised as css/js are returned fine.

To me, the fact that ​https://.../chrome/common/blah.css and ​https://.../chrome/common/blah.js are requested and returned correctly but ​https://.../chrome/common/blah.png is not, points to the fact that images are handled differently to css/js by the chrome handler.

I wondered if it was something to do with the referrer being a chrome url as I first spotted the problem where background images given in the stylesheet weren't being loaded, but it also happens when the referring page is a trac page.

Let me know if there are any tests I could try. In the meantime, I'll have a look at the code myself if I find some time - any pointers to the appropriate area would be greatly appreciated in this case.

Most certainly an InstallationIssue - you might try asking on the MailingList, as you'll reach a wider number of people that might help you.
