Download tool issue taking data from a website

[AndrewW]

I'm trying to download the spreadsheet from these URLs using a download tool: http://www.iso15022.org/download/ISO10383_MIC.xls and http://www.currency-iso.org/dam/downloads/lists/list_one.xml

The error in DownloadHeaders I'm getting from the Download tool is:

HTTP/1.1 407 authenticationrequired
Via: 1.1 10.0.220.25 (McAfee Web Gateway 7.6.0.1.0.20505)
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:27:03 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Length: 2379
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Proxy-Authenticate: Negotiate
Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="RegSG_LDAPS"

I researched this further and apparently it was down to firewall and IP issues so I requested permissions/exemptions from IT and apparently they were granted but the message returned remains consistent and I still don't have the file.

When I enter the URLs directly into the browser I don't face any permissions issues, it's only when doing this via Alteryx I'm given the error.

Anyone have any ideas?

I used the module you uploaded and was able to download both of the files without any issue.

The VIA header like the one you see in the response you posted is added by web proxies. I would continue working with your IT department to get to the root of the problem.

I had a feeling you would say that :-)

Thanks for running my workflows and confirming you had no problems.

I don't know if this will work or not but you could try navigating to your Windows Internet Properties and disabling any proxing settings there...

[AndrewW]

Good suggestion but everything IT related here is locked down so I can't touch the proxy settings, they're all greyed out.

I dont think this issue is resolved..
We use VDI(company network) and cant edit LAN settings, thus need a way to send proxy somehow via Download tool itself.
Can't we send proxy as 'Parameter' inside Parameter Tab as Query etc.
Please advice as we are stuck due to Proxy settings, unable to establish REST API calls.

As per below Idea is implemented. But still i am not successful; can anyone try and let me know.
