@jhonatan.fierrosperalta,

Your URL is not a file URL to download. It should be ending with a file extension like below:

You would see this error when the absolute path is not provided…it should ideally end with a file extension so that download file from url works

the url you rpovided might be routing to a file but not the url of the file directly

else try with http request that also might work

cheers
