I’m downloading bulk CSV data from an open data site, each download is gigabytes, I would like to set the output filename to a .zip file, to save space.
Open

Hi
If you download the CSV as the attribute ‘text_file_data’, you can use a FeatureWriter with the Text File writer to write directly to a zip file:
I have attached a workspace to illustrate the process.

Thank you Dave but I’m famous for indolence and was just looking to use a shortcut like mydata.csv.zip as the download path 😉.

We try to reward indolence as much as possible in FME, so I will check with the Dev team to see if we can add the autozipping found in most writers to the HTTPCaller.
