[EP-tech] Re: Uploading a file issue

How do I access a 'private' pastebin?

Anyway, this looks like a problem between HTTP/HTTPS. Your HTTPS workflow
is attempting to call an HTTP AJAX callback, which is unlikely to work
correctly.

As Seb has roughly outlined we need to confirm the following:

1) Your workflow.xml contains (ignoring help="" or similar attributes):
<component type="Upload" />
<component type="Documents">
... list of fields
</component>

2) What Javascript is being loaded by your Workflow:
What is in the <head> of the HTML page? <script>s
What is at the top of the linked-to auto.js (or secure_auto.js)? It should
be setting the eprint_* vars to point to https://?.


Or, if you can give me access to your server I can work these things out
myself.

/Tim.
