The issue

When we changed to https for stage we got the white screen of death with drupal.

Location of code

The file where the troubled code is:
sites/all/modules/Islandora-islandora-6589c7c/ConnectionHelper.inc
function _fixURL

The bug

This is the basic problem. The code below will yield:

$new_url = 'http'

No matter what the input is.

<?php                   
   $url = 'https://ddd';
    if (strpos($url, 'http://') == 0) {
        $new_url = 'http';
    }
    elseif (strpos($url, 'https://') == 0) {
      $new_url = 'https';
    }
    else {
        drupal_set_message(t('Invalid URL: !url', array('!url' => $url)));
        return NULL;
    }
   echo $new_url . "\n";
?>

Rewrite of the code that properly selects https:

<?php                   
   $url = 'https://ddd';

    $url_start = substr ($url , 0, 5 );

    if ($url_start == 'http:') {
        $new_url = 'http';
    }
    elseif ($url_start == 'https') {
      $new_url = 'https';
    }
    else {
        drupal_set_message(t('Invalid URL: !url', array('!url' => $url)));
        return NULL;
    }
   echo $new_url . "\n";
?>

I inserted this code into the function _fixURL code of the file:
sites/all/modules/Islandora-islandora-6589c7c/ConnectionHelper.inc
and all is well.
