How to solve HTTP module ouput as HTML rather than image download

The output Iam seeing from the HTTP module indicates that the request to download the image resulted in an HTML response rather than a direct file download. The URL used did not lead directly to the file, but rather to a web page. I can access the private url link from slack which shows in the HTTP module input.

You can create a filter to check if the Data variable does not contain (case-insensitive) “html”.

That’s probably a page that shows an error that you don’t have access to download the image from the slack. Make sure it’s a public link since the http get request assumes that it is a link you can load without any authentication.

To test if it’s a public link I usually just open it in a new incognito/private window in the browser.
