Downloading link files not working via http caller

Hi

 

I have a list of urls and want to download files from each of them. I am using the http caller and extractor to find links to pdf files on a webpage and then another http caller to download the file. The fist part works fine and when I inspect it I can see the urls to the pdf files.

 

However, the second part does not work. FME rejects the features saying the url doesnt exist. I have tried it directly in a browser and it is entirely correct, the url doesnt exist. It only appears to exist whilst the original page is open.

 

Is there a way to keep that page 'open' until the files have been downloaded and the it moves on to the next record?

 

Many thanks
