Curl Proxy Https Request

Oh how I struggled....

Run Command

Command

<Path>\curl.exe

Command Arguments

-k <https://<web URL string>  --proxy <proxy address>:<port> --proxy-user <userid>:<password>@&lt;your-proxy-ip-address Port> -o "%temp%\temp_read.csv"

Where %temp%\temp_read.csv puts the data to where you'll read from:

Input

%temp%\temp_read.csv

Should this have been easy? I hope that it is helpful for others.

MarqueeCrew,

I am also using cURL for an API project using Digest authentication. However the version of cURL installed with Alteryx doesn't support HTTPS - I'm on 11.5. Can you confirm if your version of cURL (C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\Analytic_Apps) supports HTTPS, or did you download a later version to get this to work? Just concerned that I will have to rollout an updated version of cURL to any Alteryx desktop users who want to run this workflow.

Hi @MarqueeCrew!

I've been struggling like crazy the past couple weeks with this. I just can't seem to get it. Our IT firewall necessitates the use of cURL. I had a macro built years ago by our old rep that used the syntax:

-proxy-ntlm -x proxy.http://<UserName:Password>@###.##.###.###:80 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/eqs7day-M1.txt -o "%temp%out.txt"

It worked fine until everything starting going to HTTPS. Now it doesn't work at all.

I downloaded this curl version to C:\curl (I created a new folder for that).

7.56.1 - SSL enabled SSH enabled
URL: https://bintray.com/artifact/downlo...-win64-mingw.7z
Provided by: Viktor Szakáts

And tried your syntax (

-k <https://<web URL string>  --proxy <proxy address>:<port> --proxy-user <userid>:<password>@&lt;your-proxy-ip-address Port> -o "%temp%\temp_read.csv"

but I keep getting error code 1. Can you clarify that you mean by the part after the url:

--proxy <proxy address>:<port>

Is that the same as

<your-proxy-ip-address Port>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been puling out my non-existent hair.
