Error: Exit with code 1 due to network error: UnknownNetworkError when accessed from hosted site

[Mirage]

As the title says, I am getting an " Exit with code 1 due to network error: UnknownNetworkError"  when  I attempt to print a pdf from my hosted site using the www.webpage.com link. 

If I attempt to print the pdf running from my local machine, or from localhost on the server it works fine. But trying for the live weblink is a no go. I updated to 0.12.6 of wkhtmltopdf, using windows server 2012 and my application is written in c# asp dotnet.

I read a few places where it says it may be unable to access some links, but even if I replace everything in the .cshtml page with a single div tag I get the same errror, yet locally everything works fine.

Appreciate any assistance in handling this error.

Did you ever get a resolution on this?

I'm facing the exact same issue but on linux.

Have downloaded 0.12.6 also, same problem.

So you're using the wkhtmltopdf to create pdfs from the command line, using your own code, correct. 

Have you tried a non https website ?

Have you got it working with any websites?

Running it from the command line to try to figure out the issue.

I will run the command, it will work. 

I will run it again, exact same command, it will fail.

I cannot do non-https, https is forced on.

So I'm guessing more and more that it's related to SSL.

Try a non https website eg http://info.cern.ch/ is apparently the world's first website and doesn't have https 

I didn't use the wkhtmltopdf tool to retrieve anything personally , I  just ran it in a loop to convert some HTML files to pdf with the python wrapper. I wonder if you can take the http retrieval task away from the tool and run the conversion on temporary files instead? 

I don't of course know what your whole application does but it's a workaround perhaps?

OK, thanks for the tip.

I had not even considered running the conversion against a local file.

That'll be my next step.
