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

Under HTTP Client Options (in the HTTPCallers) see if setting Save Cookies to Yes does anything
