HTTP GET method issues file format is pdf or jpg, source file contains special characters (á, é, í)

I have a quite simple flow:
 
When a Jotform flow is submitted a HTTP action is started with GET method. Compose action is coming (outputs('HTTP_Fájlnév_ellenőrző')?['headers']['Location'])), Compose 1 action is colelcting the file format (first(split(last(split(outputs('Compose'),'/')),'?'))), HTTP 1 action with GET method colecting the file body (outputs('Compose')) while Create file is creating the file with location path and file name, file content is body('HTTP_1').
 
When I upload a file to Joftorm link the input looks like this:
https://www.jotform.com/uploads/*USERNAME*/*FORMID*/*SUBMISSIONID*/01.jpg
 
If the file format is png or the uploaded file name has no spceial characters everything running well. If there is a special character AND the file format is pdf/jpg the flow running fail. For example when the uploaded file is:
példa.pdf --> Fails (stops after 5 minutes)
pelda.pdf --> OK
példa.png --> OK
pelda(()).pdf --> OK (yes even when I use ( ) characters in file name the flow is still running well)
 
If the filename is nagyméretékezet.pdf the input is like this in the first HTTP method:
https://www.jotform.com/uploads/*USERNAME*/*FORMID*/*SUBMISSIONID*/nagym%C3%A9ret%C3%A9kezet.pdf
 
So the coding/encoding is OK. The only issue is when I have á, é ,í in the file name and the format is pdf or JPG.
 
Any idea how to solve it? Or any workaround?

    Hi ZD-01021041-0,
     
    One work around might be to save the file to OneDrive, as this seems to be simpler:
     
     
    https://www.jotform.com/uploads/<username>/<formId>/<sessionId>/<filename>?apiKey=<your_api_key> 
     
    https://www.jotform.com/uploads/elliskarim/123456789/0987654321/nagyméretékezet.pdf?apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxx
     
    You'll need an API key which you can setup from the Admin Console
     
    This flow uses an API key. Store it securely, avoid hard-coding or exposing it in logs, limit who can access the flow, and rotate the key if it’s ever compromised.
