@Ha_El

Try to open the file in notepad and and check if you can find any issue

Alternately please show us the http request how you are using…

also does the file required any authentication to get downloaded?

and if you click on the url you use does it prompt to save as or download the file autoamtically if you do it manually?

cheers

If I click on the Url the excel file is opened in the navigator and I should click on “download a copy” to be able to downloaded manually.
