Issue with Downloading Converted PDF File (403 Error) - Certificate Verification Problem

Docs API
1

Greetings community,

I am currently facing a problem while attempting to download a PDF file that was converted from a DOCX using the OnlyOffice Conversion API. Every time I try to download the file, I encounter a 403 error. Upon examining the logs, I came across the following error message:

":UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE;connect:undefined Error: unable to verify the first certificate."

In my search for a solution, I stumbled upon this forum thread: Download failed... 403 forbidden - #3 by FelixFuernhammer, which addresses the exact same issue. I followed the suggestions mentioned in the thread, and as a result, I no longer have any logs related to the error. However, despite these efforts, the problem still persists.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions that could help resolve this issue.

Thank you in advance for your support and expertise.

To download it via link in the browser please try next:

  1. Copy the link and paste it to the search bar;
  2. Remove amp; but leave the & sign from the link (POSTMAN highlights these pieces);
  3. Press Enter to download the file.

Here is an example of the link:

…/cache/files/data/conv_pdf/output.pdf/Document.pdf?md5=N_8j8U5mo28Wtp7ujWdLAg& expires=1689591812& filename=Document.pdf

After removal of amp;:

…/cache/files/data/conv_pdf/output.pdf/Document.pdf?md5=N_8j8U5mo28Wtp7ujWdLAg&expires=1689591812&filename=Document.pdf

Hope it helps.

As far as I know, this is how ampersand (&) symbol is encoded and it results in being replaced with &.
