I'm trying to download a file from a site that requires a password and a button press. I'm using HTTPCaller, with POST as method. The Body option is Multipart/Form Data, the Multipart Upload is 

password, String Upload, (the password)

 and 

btn-open-file, String Upload, Open

Unfortunately, I'm only receiving the following error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>502 Proxy Error</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Proxy Error</h1>
<p>The proxy server received an invalid
response from an upstream server.<br />
The proxy server could not handle the request <em><a href="/public/file/1TcNS1xp_kyoFY4B3JiaUA/SSF-GIS-Daten.CSV">POST /public/file/1TcNS1xp_kyoFY4B3JiaUA/SSF-GIS-Daten.CSV</a></em>.<p>
Reason: <strong>Error reading from remote server</strong></p></p>
</body></html>

 

Also, this is the login form and source:

What's the issue here? I found this very similar problem but couldn't get anything from the discussion to work: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/68018/download-zip-file-from-password-protected-website.html

Hi @clickingbuttons, make sure that the request URL is set correctly. The request URL should point to the location specified by the "action" attribute in the "form" element. In this case, should look like this:

<the same directory as the web page>/public/file/somefile.CSV

If the website requires login procedure before accessing the CSV file, the discuss in this thread might help you.

I already mentioned that discussion in my first post, couldn't find anything useful there. I guess it's really more of a JS question than FME itself.
