[Cartoweb-users] Bug : RawImage doesn't work under protected area

[Oliver Christen]

im not sure but I think you can keep the context with the export image 
plugin as it doesnt use a header(..) command but use the common renderForm 
output flow, which may solve the https problem.
it's worth giving a try.

We are using the mode=image ... Don't know the exportImg plugin.

As the bug I report could be only a rfe (request for ehancement).
There's some trouble here with their server inside a nated dmz. And this 
cause the trouble.

I've just modified the ClientImage.php to use a header("Location: $mapUrl"); 
and everything work for their case.

Is there any advantage to use the exportImg plugin over the mode=image ???
