Drawing URL with http

English Forum

Good day,
what library is L&L using when downloading Drawing() from a URL? We have a problem where “http” protocol does not seem to work, only “https” is working. Opening the URL from the browser is working fine. We are using L&L 28.3.

Here is the error from the log:

Using LL28 I was unable to reproduce this:

So it might have to do with local/admin settings. For http downloads, List & Label uses the URLDownloadToFile API whereas https is downloaded via wininet.
