Re: fo:external-graphic src="https:..."

I could see the image  when I type in its url on the web server.  But when I
include the absolute url into the src, it does not show up in the report.

src="https://phys...mt_logo.gif"

Check the logs whether there is a complaint about an invalid URL
or other problems while retrieving the content. Depending on
your environment you need to take some actions to make reading
images over HTTPS work.

Note that the Cocoon user list is a more appropriate forum for
this kind of somewhat product specific questions.
