Hi,

I have been able to download file from this url: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/active_fire/c6/kml/MODIS_C6_Canada_48h.kml in the past. Strangely, it does not work anymore. I am getting ssl connect error. Other than upgrading my FME Desktop from 2019 to 2020, nothing has changed.

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Lawrence

Of you turn on debug logging you miiight get a little bit more information. Another thing to try is to turn of certificate validation to see if that helps.​

I can reproduce his issue in 2019.1, changing HTTPCaller parameters does not seem to help, debug does not give another clue. Browser is downloading the file without a problem. Maybe submit a case?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will submit a case to Safe Support.

I seem to be encountering it intermittently when running a workspace on FME Server 2019

Regardless of FME version or platform, HTTPCaller doesn't seem to work in this case. Through Knowledge Base, I discovered there is an alternate transformer call AsyncHTTPCaller. It solves the problem for me.
