Reading ASPX file from URL with download tool "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" error

I wasn't able to identify my exact issue from any of the existing posts. Hopefully somebody can point out my issue.

 

I need to pull down data from an ASPX (basically a web-based spreadsheet) file on my company's URL. I've fed the site name into the tool using a text input but I'm getting an "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" error. What am I missing please?

Hi @JamelTalbi 

 

Could you please try adding the below entries in the Header tab of Download Tool

Name: User-Agent:

Value: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.163 Safari/537.36

 

Name: Content-Type 

Value: application/html

Thank you, devi. I have added those entries under the Headers tab, but have the same result. Can you advise what the purpose was? Do I need to have some value in the Headers? What is Alteryx looking for here? Any other ideas? Thanks.

It did actually work - I just had to open it up in a browse tool and really dig into it. Thanks.
