Error 400 using download link from embedded code
I have an embedded piece of code that once upon a time worked before TLS v1 was deprecated. Note the URL download link in the subject line above was modified to protect the file. The unmodified lin...
HI - Some progress!
This is the current header configuration.

local options = {
protocol = "tlsv1_2",
sink = ltn12.sink.file(f),

}
}
I am receiving Http Request response 200.
HOWEVER, the data that is coming in is an HTML doc with a bunch of script, not the actual file - how to I get the actual file?
This is what is coming in now:

Dropbox Community Moderatorterryz I see you're setting the "url" to "https://www.dropbox.com" now, instead of your shared link, and so you're retrieving the HTML of the Dropbox home page.
I also see that you're trying to set a "Path" header to "/s/y5jlwu5nfr3s8xe/FAULTMSG.CSV?dl=1", however that should be part of the HTTP start line, not a header.
The network client is generally expected to handle these details for you automatically; that is, you should be able to just supply the URL and it would handle the host and path details for you automatically.
If you set the "url" to the full shared link with this code, and don't set a "Path" header, does it get the expected file content? If the home page works but the shared link doesn't, it's possible your client just doesn't support redirects.
