1 PDF not downloading, webscraping

[Roche]

Hi everyone, 

I have built a flow to download the pdfs from table 1 on this site: End of Sale and End of Service Life - Extreme Networks

All pdfs download except for nr 80, for which the hyperlink is https://kapost-files-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/asset/file/5b4f5a2af9e4e600b3000147/Immediate%20E...

Does someone perhaps know why this pdf would not download successfully?  I was wondering if it has something to do with the amazonaws.com/ uploads action - not sure.  The file does show as a pdf in the folder where I keep the pdfs, but when I open it there is no file opening to Adobe Reader. 

Can someone perhaps help me with this?  

I also attach a sample workflow with an example path on my machine  \\wg0041\Alteryx-Shared

Thank you for helping!

hey @Roche 
Thank you for attaching the sample workflow, its made it a bunch easier to investigate. I do appreciate that.

So the file downloaded contains:

(Opened in Notepad++, which is usually pretty good for these things).
There are a few reasons that the access would be denied, however the reason in this case is the 'encode URL text' option in your download tool:

The encode URL option effectively converts symbols within the URL to 'request friendly formats'. However, the URL you are trying to query is already encoded:
https://kapost-files-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/asset/file/5b4f5a2af9e4e600b3000147/Immediate%20E...

See: '%20' within the URL. This represents a space.

by unchecking that option, i have managed to get the file to download to my drive no problem.

You can read more about that here:

Hope this helps,
