(Connector error: Failed on attempt 1 to GET. (invalidRequest, A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*).))

Hi all,

I am trying to pull monthly excel data files located in Onedrive using asterix to Qlik Cloud.

I get the following error:

**(Connector error: Failed on attempt 1 to GET. (invalidRequest, A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*).))**

Single Excel file works as expected.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Best Regards,

Joni

I would think that you simply can't do that in the OneDrive API (that the connector is probably using). It won't allow you to iterate over files. Try to find a way to get a list of all file names that you want to load, and iterate over that list loading them one by one instead of using an asterisk.
