hi guys, I have the error above when trying to download from firefox website, using the following command:

can someone please tell me what is the issue?
it seems like basic download request that previously already worked for me

I tested your action script in my environment and the file was downloaded as expected to the _Download folder on the targeted endpoint.
Have you verified the download folder on the endpoint to ensure it is not in there (Program Files(x86)/BigFix Enterprise\BES Client__BESData\actionsite__Download)? Are you using a Fixlet or a Task? Have you defined any success criteria after this action completes? See @AlanM response on a previous thread regarding a “Failed” status.

It will depend on a few things how a “failed” is determined. Ignoring the complexity of a Custom Success Criteria, a fixlet must go non relevant (its targeting relevance needs to go false) and a task must complete all lines of the action successfully. An action that is running when the client is restarted (or the OS is restarted) will also fail by default as the interruption of the action is considered a failure. Custom success criteria can change all that but its a much more complex case and…

Does the download get cached to your server (information is in the Summary tab of the action (or Member action for baselines etc))?

I don’t know why that would be, but I never use that form of the download - I always use the form that checks the size and hash of the file, even for stuff hosted internally.
