Hi Pavel, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 


To have your direct link to work, 


Hope it works! 


Hi Rona,


This is not my case.


I am developing Java application that is capable to download files from direct links provided by 3rd party.
Endpoint https://public.boxcloud.com/d/1/<filetoken>/download has some private policy which prevent GET request for the files with message: We are not currently able to process your request; please try again in few minutes. If you continue having issues, please submit a request at <a href="https://support.box.com">https://support.box.com</a> for support.
I am looking for an advice how to construct HttpClient which is capable to communicate with mentioned endpoint.


After several retries and tests i was able to resolved the issue.


Solution is: Force "Accept-Encoding" header to request with "gzip, deflate, br" value to the request.
