Hello Community,
I’m currently working with Talend Studio 2025-08, and I’ve noticed that in the tHTTPClient component, the “Returned content” dropdown does not show the option “Download file only”
According to the Talend documentation, this setting should be available (alongside Body, Headers and body, Status, headers and body) and is used together with “Download attachments” to download only the response file without returning the payload to the main flow
However, in my environment, the list only contains:
No “Download file only” entry appears
What I’ve checked so far:
My question:
How can I activate or enable the “Download file only” option in the Returned content list?
Is it controlled by a specific feature flag, component version, or patch level (e.g., introduced after a certain R2025 build) ?
Context:
I have migrated from 2024-03 to 2025-05, and I am now migrating to 2025-08. I’m downloading files larger than 120 MB, and when I try to download a single file (around 120 MB), I get a Java Heap Space error. I don’t want to increase the maximum allocated Java memory yet—I’d like to try other options first, because a 120 MB file should not require more than 1 GB of memory :
Exception in component FRK_DOWNLOAD_GRAPH_FILES_1_tHTTPClient_3 (tetzdzf)
org.talend.sdk.component.api.exception.ComponentException:
(java.lang.OutOfMemoryError) Java heap space
Thank you in advance for any clarification or guidance!
This option has been added since Studio R2025-09.
| The new option Download file only has been added to the tHTTPClient component, allowing users to download HTTP response bodies directly as files or to cache without building records in the main flow, which helps optimize resource usage for large downloads. |
