Customize and extend the power of Alteryx with SDKs, APIs, custom tools, and more.
Hi all!
I have a workflow which downloads files from an API and uploads them as blob objects to a Microsoft SharePoint site with the Download tool. It runs successfully intermittently and it occasionally errors with:
{"error":{"code":"invalidRequest","message":"The size of the provided stream is not known. Make sure the request is not chunked, and the Content-Length header is specified"}}
Here's my set-up:
And the full error message in the Download Headers column:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/json;odata.metadata=minimal;odata.streaming=true;IEEE754Compatible=false;charset=utf-8

It appears that Alteryx isn't passing on the correct Content-Length headers to SharePoint (but only sometimes as the error is intermitent).
One thing I tried is passing the value of 'identity' in a Transfer-Encoding header but that resulted in another error 'HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented' in the Download Headers column.
I raised a post on the Community -> Discussions -> Designer space for this same issue over 2 weeks ago but didn't get any support there, so I am posting here in case anyone knows any workaround.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I think you should declare your columns in Headers.
Try to declare Content-Length as 'Name' in headers,
or check if you are passing the value in the expected format
Let me know if this helps or if you foun another resoluton, please.
good luck 🙂
