We've just migrated from Oracle 11 to 19c and experiencing big issues with existing working functionality.

Hi, It has been many years that I have not worked with ORACLE RDBMS. Due to a lack of time, I don"t maintain this lib any more. I sorry, I can't answer your question on what is working or not on new Oracle RDBMS because my knowledge about them has stop at Oracle 11 !

Is someone here has some answers ?

I'm sure this issue is no longer relevant to the OP, but for anyone coming across this in the future like I was -

We have a number of applications that use this library and we're about to upgrade to 19C. It looks like the Oracle Multimedia objects/API are removed. We haven't done the upgrade yet, but a quick search of the package shows that the ordsys.ordImage object is being used by getImageFromUrl(). This may be a least partially to blame for OP's issues.

There doesn't really seem to be a good/free replacement for Oracle Multimedia objects right now, either from Oracle or from third parties. I think we're going to end up putting together some Java to replace the functionality.
