New URL Templates for Bing Maps Tiles

Question

Yesterday there was a change made by the Bing Maps team for imagery requests and also for requesting tiles using SSL. The following forum post also explains the changes that were made:

This was an unannounced change and before they rolled back the change the Bing map imagery was essentially unavailable.
Going forward, Bing Maps Enterprise Support recommend I contact Esri.

Are you aware of this change and are you working on a fix?
Thanks for your help.

Esri suggested using setRequestPreCallback to work around this issue if Microsoft rolls out the update again without notice. setRequestPreCallback allows you modify the request before its made so you can update url parameters. You???ll want to add the following code://add setRequest esri.setRequestPreCallback(myCallbackFunction); function myCallbackFunction(ioArgs) { console.log(ioArgs.url); //check to make sure the url is going to Microsoft if (ioArgs.url.indexOf("virtualearth") > -1) { //if so, add a new parameter called uriScheme and set the value equal to 'https' ioArgs.content.uriScheme = "https"; // don't forget to return ioArgs. } return ioArgs; } Here???s some working code: VE Tile Layer

Check it out ??? use Net in Firebug or some other browser dev tool and notice the map tile url???s begin with https. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32080[/ATTACH]
