Hi,

Running DSpace v5.2 with JSPUI. Configured to run over https (which may, or may 
not, be behind this issue?).

I’ve just been having a play with the Creative Commons licence selection step 
but it doesn’t seem to be working for me so I’m wondering if I’ve done 
something wrong, or hit a known issue?

I’ve “switched on” the CC License step by uncommenting it in 
item-submission.xml.

The CC licence selection step now appears as expected (in an iFrame), and I can 
select radio buttons and click "Select a Licence" - the selection process 
appears to work as I get a page back that shows the selected licence, but when 
I click on the "proceed" link, the page just hangs and I'm not moved on to the 
next step :-(

Reviewing the metadata of the record by returning to the Input Forms, I can see 
that dc.rights now contains “An error occurred on the license name” and I can 
see that an RDF file has been added to the "uploaded files", but this 
"license_rdf" file only contains:

<result>

- which certainly doesn’t seem right ☺

I've done some googling, and had a dig about in the mailing list archives and 
JIRA but haven't managed to resolve this or find anything definitive.

http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/CC-license-and-HTTPS-in-JSPUI-td4674301.html
 reports an issue when using https that causes "mixed content" security 
warnings, but it looks like the changes suggested on that thread have been 
incorporated into the DSpace code now 
(https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2151?) and a quick review of the relevant 
code seems to confirm this. So I don't think I'm hitting this issue?

And this JIRA also points to an issue with DSpace 5.2 and CC licences, 
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2604, but this seems to suggest that the 
process completes (in terms of the record being saved and the CC logo turning 
up on the item record) which is not what I'm experiencing. So I'm not sure if 
I'm hitting this issue?

I also read somewhere (that I've lost now!) that the specification of a 
jurisdiction value in dspace.cfg causes problems with the selection of CC v4 
licences, so I have tried commenting out this option in dspace.cfg, but that 
didn't seem to make any difference either.

I found this (about writing these CC selection step errors into the metadata), 
too - https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1538 - but I don't think that is 
behind the problem (just a consequence of it)?

So, does anyone have the CC licence selection step running on DSpace v5.2, 
using JSPUI and everything over https? If so, any hints or tips on anything you 
had to do to get it working?

. . .  or is CC Licence selection known not to work in that configuration?

Many thanks as ever,

Mike
