How can I download a file from microsoft download website?

Posted on by 8

I'm working on using flow to send my network team a copy of updates in AzureIPaddress list from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=41653.

I tried a HTTP Get with the above url and CreateFile to OneDrive... but it dumps the actual html code in the resulting page and not the downloaded xml.

flow.jpgAnyone tried this before?

 

Thanks,

Sens

    Hi @Senshere ,

    As you said, the URI will changed every month.

    You want to use a static url or a wildcard in the flow to achieve your needs.

    I am afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

    MS flow doesn't support the wildcard currently.

    So I am afraid you need change the URI every month manually.

    Actually, it doesnt work as the file name PublicIPs_2019xxxx.xml will be changing every month... so I can set a static url in my flow nor a wildcard...

    Good catch Zhongys.

     

    I'll try this out. I'm not very sure if the the numbers preceding public_xxxxx.xml change.

    like numbers and GUID in red *may* change next month.

    I'll check it out.

    Thanks,

    Sens

    Hi @Senshere ,

    I have made a test on my side, the link you have used is incorrect.

    Please right click the 'click here to download manually'  word on the web page.

    Then copy link adress.

    The correct Uri is: https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/8/018E208D-54F8-44CD-AA26-CD7BC9524A8C/PublicIPs_20190415.xml
