Hi,  
I am trying to integrate public webcam views in my Openhab setup  
(E.g. [Webcam Antwerp: Webcam Antwerp - Webcam Galore](Https://www.webcamgalore.com/webcam/Belgium/Antwerp/244.html))  
Unfortunately these are using https and not http. So the http binding doesn’t seem to work here.  
Any idea about a potential workaround?

Thanks  
Joris

Include how? I can’t think of any way one could bring an image or video into openHAB as an Item (i.e. using the HTTP binding).

Typically one would just use a Video element on the sitemap. The browser will handle the HTTPS.

I used to use:

Image url=“[http://images.webcamgalore.com/14069-current-webcam-Boom.jpg](http://images.webcamgalore.com/14069-current-webcam-Boom.jpg)”

in my sitemap and this worked great. Unfortunately the link has changed into “[https://images.webcamgalore.com/14069-current-webcam-Boom.jpg](https://images.webcamgalore.com/14069-current-webcam-Boom.jpg)” and this is not understood by Openhab.

OK, that isn’t an HTTP binding issue but a sitemap issue. I’m not sure how to address this.
