Updating SSL cert broke CE Image

Support (Resolved)

CE Image no longer works properly after updating from a SHA-1 to SHA-2 SSL certificate.  Existing cached images still display OK, but CE Image won’t create any new images. 

All works correctly upon rolling back to the SHA-1 certificate.

The website currently uses EE 2.4 (upgrading not easy).  CE Image version is 2.4.  I see that CE Image 2.4.5 has a SSL-related option that can be set to false.  Is updating to 2.4.5 likely to fix the problem?  Any issues with updating then rolling back to 2.4 if necessary?

My hunch is that the problem relates to file paths, and possibly my method for forcing https.  File paths to the images created by CE Image are http but include a segment /https_sitename/ . My https method includes setting an apache env variable and passing it to EE (similar to http://feistygoat.com/blog/2010/10/force-ssl-in-expressionengine/). My htaccess file forces all traffic to the EE admin control panel to use https, not http.

Any and all help appreciated.

Updating to CE Image 2.4.5 fixed the problem.
