download tool giving error server not connected

Question

Hi team,

I was working with download tool to call a rest api and it works as expected . But I was trying to log the error when the server becomes unavailable and add a 404 error, but the download Header will not provide any value incase of server not available case ..It just cause an error  Download (3) Error transferring data: Couldn't connect to server and the workflow fails.

I have tried to add message and a macro solution but for both the case I will require to get a value from Download Header.

Hi ,

I was running the workflow locally and was running the rest api in my local. I considered this senario while testing. I didn't run my rest api and just hit the localhost with download tool and it was showing the above error but ideally it should return a 404 right?

So I was checking a method to capture 404 error while using download tool but no response is available in its header.

Do you have access to the actual machine that your Server is installed on? There is a local version of Designer installed on there - you can try running the workflow just as you would in standard Designer and see if it gives more descriptive error messages.
