Hi everyone,

One of my client encountered the above error while trying to upload a csv file into Splunk. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Any feedbacks are much appreciated!

Thanks

sounds like their proxy server doesn't allow them to upload csv files to the Splunk server. They should work with their proxy or security team to whitelist the Splunk server.
