We have been using the KML utility to display KML files in our JavaScript app for over a year. Yesterday or day before it suddenly stopped handling images that are served over HTTPS. Is this by design or a bug?

Update: this has been filed as a software defect with ESRI. I will update when a resolution is reached.

I ran a quick test using the following sample code and running the page via https. In my test the KML layer loaded fine.  In your testing do you see any errors in the browser developer console?

The issue is not related to the ink file itself, but images referenced

within the kml file that are https.

Do you have an example of a KML file with the referenced images?
