Hello,
I am using 64bit Lightroom 4.1 with SM plugin 1.0.4.12. When I try to "Publish Now", I receive the message, "Could not contact the SmugMug web service." The debugging log is shown below. I am unsure, but the problem may be in the line with the arrow. The call appears to be using hpps:, but the call is using the http: api format. Whether this is the error or not, what should I do to correct my problem??

Thanks

I would guess that it's normal for certain api calls to go via https for security&privacy reasons.

What is the default browser you're using on your system? Can you check that the browser is not set to offline mode?

On what operating system are you?

Can you simply retry the "publish now" button to see if it works a second or third time?

It also might be security software interfering. What antivirus, firewall or Internet security software do you use? Maybe it's somehow blocking Lightroom or specifically our plugin in some way?
