Alteryx - Failure when receiving data from the peer

Gfreeman

Hey all, trying to web scrape data from a web page:

 

https://www.fs.usda.gov/mtnf

 

First, I was getting the error "Failure when receiving data from the peer".

 

So, I created a text file in C:\ProgramData\Alteryx - called it PeerValidationBypass.txt

 

Entry:  www.fs.usda.gov

 

Workflow:  Text input, then download tool, then browse

 

When I run the WF, it shows the Warning: Download (3): TLS Peer Validation bypassed for https connection to host www.fs.usda.gov.

 

But, the WF runs forever, seems to be stuck - I have to cancel it.

 

Anyone else have this issue?
