Hello everyone!

So I’ve had a workflow run fine for the past 2+ years. It involves using HTTPCaller to send a GET request to our OpenText ContentServer repository and download a csv document as an attribute for further processing.

It appears that at some point in late June, the service credentials we’d been using all along are no longer working in FME or something because we’ve been consistently getting a 401 error in the rejected features port of the HTTPCaller. We’re seeing this behaviour in both FME 2022.2 and 2024.2.

The thing is, the same credentials will work fine when the URL request is done manually through the browser.

The setup has originally been NTLM, with the service username and password passed from User Defined Parameters. When I check ContentServer’s authorization settings through the browser’s Developer Tools it still shows up as NTLM too, so that hasn’t changed.

I’m hoping for any ideas or leads that I can look into. Is it possible that something was done on the ContentServer side (perhaps through our IT department or something) to nix the transformer’s GET call? Is there something in the way HTTPCaller works that would make it flaggable or somehow distinct from just entering credentials through the browser that they could have shut down?

Thank you!
