Hello Hassan,

The URL as currently returning the home page of the network rather than a compressed feed, so maybe the ID is no longer for an active merchant, for example. It may be a transient error; if you view the URL in your browser you'll see the homepage content for now but once it begins working again your browser should offer the compressed for download at which point it should resume working with the Automation Tool...

Cheers,
David.

Hello Hassan,

It might be worth asking the network if there is any way that you can include your username / password in the URL. There are 2 common ways that this is done, for example

http://www.example.com/feed.asp?merchant=1234&affiliate=5678&password=ABCD

http://username:password@www.example.com/feed.asp?merchant=1234

(which is the standard URL format for HTTP authentication)

Cheers,
David.
