HTTP module to fetch an image from a URL error

This is a weird error as if I run the scenario once, it fails at the HTTP module everytime. When I run it a second time it works fine.

I am generating an image on fal.ai / FLUX and saving the URL into a Google Sheet. Then the HTTP module (get a file) grabs that URL for the file.

I have a 30 second pause before the HTTP module so that it gives it time to generate the image. I extended it to 2 minutes once just in case and still the same error. The URL is always present in the Google Sheet prior to the HTTP module calling for it.

The one strange thing that also happens is the image that Fal produces on the first run through will be there on the second run though even though it went through the image generation step again. It should be a different image than the first one since it ran the imagine generation twice.

Here is the error and HTTP get a file settings

I finally figured out this issue. I have seen many other threads with a URL reference issue. If anyone comes along this post at a later date, reply so it notifies me of a post and I will tell you how to fix it. I would put it here but its semi complicated to put into words even though the fix is fairly easy.
