    Hello all

    Just a quick question please. I am designing a job that must download a set of files from a web server using HTTP call. To do so I am using the step "HTTP"  to connect to the URL and download the file to a target destination.

    I am able to connect to the URL of the web server, and logs show that the file is downloeaded. Even when I go to the target destination the file is in there. The problem is that file created in the target destination is only 14 KB and I am not able to open it as I get the error saying that the file must be in wrong format. 

    If I connect to the URL using Chrome, Firefox... the file gets downloaded and it is 850KB and I am able to open it with no problem.

    Is there any step that I must be configuring wront in this step. Could it be that something in the web server is preventing to download the file correctly using this pentaho job instead of doing it manually??

    Here I attach a screenshot of the configuration of the step.

    Thanks a lot.
