How to get a file using a URL to it's location without using Connect HTTP?
Hello,
We are trying to get a file using a URL to its location. Like: https://somedomain.org/filebase64.txt
Back in the old days we would use a Connect HTTP to do that. That rule type is deprecated. Pega's documentation says to use a Connect REST instead.
That does not seem to work, cause the answering party does not respond with the file, because it sees the REST request.
If you know how to use the Connect REST for this, or know of an alternative solution, please leave a pointer or full answer.
Thanks, kind regards,

Hello @RexDeJong
By using REST integration wizard with GET method you should be able to retrieve base64 encoded value of the file. Then you can use OOTB AttachFile activity and pass retrieved value as a parameter in order to attach it to the case.
