Plugins - Create PDF - Test Failed! is using https

By Brownleather - April 25, 2018

When running the "Test Server Requirements" it returns the following error.

Failed! Test downloading content from this serverDownloading content from url with: getPage('http://www.domain.com/');
Resolve hostname 'www.domain.com' to IP address: 12.345.678.910
Error: Received HTTP status code '301' (should be 200 or 302)! (view source, html)


The following shell commands may help you debug connection issues from your server:wget --spider -T2 -O- http://www.perfectoptical.com/ 2>&1curl --head -v -m2 http://www.domain.com/ 2>&1

When I update the code from "http://" to "https://" in __createPDF_tests_download_remoteUrl the in the createPDF_pluginsMenu.php file all pass.

Basically we need https detection logic.

Hi Brownleather, 

Is it working aside from that?  I think the issue is we're not detecting 301 as a valid return code but it is.  I can update the code for that with the next release.

Let me know, thanks!

It turns out that its was the temp directory...

I added temp directory setting before the createPDF_fromOutput call and all is working!

$GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_TEMPDIR_PATH'] = '/home/account_name/public_html';
createPDF_fromOutput('attachment', 'statement-'.$statement_key.'.pdf');

What approach would recommend using for generating a large PDF (say one thousand pages)?

Thanks
