irmEncryptFailedToFindProtector error response when download file

Question

Hi,
I try to download a file by api

   GET /items/{item-id}/content  

and I get the error code like this

   {"error":{"code":"resourceModified","innerError":{"code":"irmEncryptFailedToFindProtector"},"message":"The resource has changed since the caller last read it; usually an eTag mismatch"}}  

It seems like the error on server side. What is the root cause of this error?

Furthermore, I'm wondering if there is any query option to bypass this error and force download?
Or, do you have recommanded way to handle this kind of error ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hi @howard tseng ,

Error message The resource has changed since the caller last read it; usually an eTag mismatch suggests, it appears the file has been modified from the time you have requested file or item attributes.

Can you try including request headers if-none-match: {eTag} refer to driveitem-get-content.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

But I did not add the if-nono-match: {etag} header in the request, the file content supposed to be downloaded without eTag mismatch error
Looking forward to your reply, thanks
