  ****************************************************************
  ManagedAssetClientAPI.getData API grabs the contents of the file
  from an http call. This causes an issue when the webserver is
  protected via a non standard https certificate or a custom
  authenticator.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is provided to read the managed asset file contents direct
  from the database instead of pulling it using a URL.
  

Temporary fix
