Hi guys, when using the Http Get File with the User Server Filename option - how do I determine what the filename is (without saving it to an empty folder)? There doesn’t appear to be any property in the Action object…

EDIT: The only option I’ve found is to use the Logging Properties of the Action to capture the output (which includes the server file name) and to parse the information out of that block of text). Can we add another field to the action to capture this information (and the header info perhaps? Even better if we can get this info before the actual download so we can cancel the action if need be).

Thanks, TJ
