Hi,

When I try to load the xml file using Qlikview, it gives 'Download Error' but I can open the same url in browser.

What could be the reason for download failed error

In IE, it is not asking for any credentials. But in Chrome, it is asking for the credentials. After giving the credential I am able to view the xml file.

But qlikview couldn't read the data from the url, it is giving the error - 'The download Failed'

Note: I am trying to fetch the data from share point using REST service

I'm also receiving the same issue.

I pull the XML file up in my browser (Firefox, IE and Chrome)

The URL has the ID and Password as a plain text string.

When going through the wizard to upload the XML file, I can see my data when the FileType is set to Delimited or Fixed Record.

HOWEVER, when I select the File Type of XML, I receive the following:

I have the same problem.
When I type the URL in the browser the result shows up, but when I use the
wizard in Qlikview pulling from internet file it says:  'The download Failed'. But when I chose delimited I can see the data (as Jason describes earlier).

The same URL works from Qlikview on my local machine.

So I guess there is/are some setting(s) on the server that stops Qlikview from pulling xml from internet files. Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
