File Download node returns HTTP 403 error

KNIME Server
1

Hi,

I am working on a KNIME Server Small installation (on Windows Server 2016 64bits). I’m trying to include a download link to an Excel file in a webportal workflow. For this I have used the usual combination of Create Temp Dir/Excel Writer/File Download Quickform node.

When I run the workflow in the webportal in Chrome, and click on the generated link, I get a “Failed - Forbidden” error, in Internet Explorer, this leads to a HTTP 403 Forbidden error. Interestingly, in Firefox I get a text file stating “Maximum number of consumers exceeded. The current server license allow at most 0 consumers”.

I have checked and compared my settings with those discussed in the following topic.

I have also downloaded and tested the workflow provided by Vincenzo in the same discussion, and I get the same error as with my workflow.

I have checked on the server, and the Excel file is created in the corresponding flowContextTmp folder.

Thanks for your help

Serge

Hi @sparel,

There is currently an issue with how the Server Small license is handled by the File Download node. I will contact you directly with a workaround.

Cheers,
